What is RPW
Shockwave Therapy?
RPW Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate the body's natural healing response. It helps reduce pain, break down dysfunctional tissue and promote the repair of damaged tendons and soft tissues.
Originally developed to break up kidney stones, it was discovered that one of the side effects was accelerated tissue healing and increased bone density.
