Radial Shockwave Therapy at Bakker Natural Medicine
At Bakker Natural Medicine, we offer Radial Shockwave Therapy, an advanced, non-invasive treatment designed to reduce pain, enhance healing, and restore mobility. This therapy is particularly effective for chronic musculoskeletal conditions, soft tissue injuries, and stubborn pain syndromes that have not responded to other treatments.
What is Radial Shockwave Therapy?
Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT) uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. These waves penetrate deep into the affected area, breaking down scar tissue, increasing circulation, and promoting cellular regeneration. Unlike surgical interventions or medication, RSWT is a safe, drug-free alternative for pain relief and tissue healing.
How Does Radial Shockwave Therapy Work?
During an RSWT session, a specialized device delivers controlled shockwaves to the affected area. These pulses:
✔ Break down calcifications and scar tissue that contribute to chronic pain.
✔ Increase blood circulation to accelerate healing.
✔ Stimulate collagen production, which improves tissue strength and flexibility.
✔ Desensitize nerve endings, reducing pain and discomfort.
Most patients experience noticeable improvements after just a few sessions, making it a fast and effective solution for pain management and recovery.
