Shock Wave Therapy

The non-surgical, non-prescription answer to pain relief and healing

What is Shock Wave Therapy?

Focus Shock Waves are low and medium energy waves concentrated on the specific area of treatment. This energy starts the regeneration and repair process to the painful/injured area along with triggering your body’s own natural healing ability. The Shock Wave is able to reach targeted treatment areas up to 5” below the skin surface.

What is the evolution of Shock Wave Therapy?

Shock Wave Technology was developed in 1980 for use in the disintegration of kidney stones using high energy waves. After decades of research and development, and clinical studies, Shock Wave Technology evolved for use as low and medium energy waves for healing and pain
therapy treatments. In fact, the vast number of clinical studies have developed treatments that are so numerous they virtually address almost every imaginable tissue, muscle, tendon, ligament and vascular disorder.

How successful is Shock Wave Therapy?

After only 1–2 sessions, many patients report complete pain relief or significant pain reduction. The Therapy eliminates pain and/or restores mobility, thus improving your quality of life!

Testimonials

The Shock Wave Therapy Dr. Gunn performed on my
knee has been a miracle! From the first treatment I felt
immediate relief and increased mobility that I haven’t
had for 2 1/2 years. No more uneasy feeling making
turning motions or fearful I could fall.
Thank you, Dr. Gunn, for this amazing treatment!
