Common Questions
How does shockwave therapy work?
Shockwave therapy delivers acoustic pressure waves deep into damaged tissue. These waves stimulate blood flow, promote cell regeneration, and trigger your body's natural healing response. The treatment essentially 'wakes up' stagnant healing processes in chronic injuries.
Is shockwave therapy painful?
Most patients experience mild discomfort during treatment, often described as a 'tapping' sensation. Dr. Spitz adjusts the intensity based on your comfort level. Any discomfort is temporary and typically subsides immediately after the session.
How many sessions will I need?
Most conditions require 3-6 sessions, typically scheduled 5-7 days apart. Dr. Spitz will create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific condition and how you respond to therapy.
When will I see results?
Many patients notice improvement within the first few sessions. Full results typically develop over 8-12 weeks as your body's healing response takes effect. Some patients experience immediate pain relief.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are minimal. Some patients experience temporary redness, minor swelling, or bruising at the treatment site. These typically resolve within 24-48 hours.
Is shockwave therapy covered by insurance?
Shockwave therapy is FDA-approved; however, most insurance companies still classify it as investigational and do not provide coverage. HSA and FSA funds may be used for treatment.
