How do I know if physical therapy will help me?

Radial Pressure Wave (RPW), commonly known as shockwave therapy, uses acoustic waves to create gentle mechanical stimulation within the tissues. These waves help reduce muscle tension, stimulate connective tissue, temporarily increase blood flow, and support the body’s natural healing response.

Shockwave therapy is commonly used to treat conditions such as tendinitis of the hips and shoulders, chronic muscle and tendon pain, and a wide range of musculoskeletal issues. It can also be effective for TMJ dysfunction, helping reduce jaw and facial muscle tension, and for tailbone (coccyx) pain, by addressing deep tissue irritation and surrounding muscle dysfunction.

The goal is simple: decrease pain, improve tissue mobility, and help you move more comfortably.
