Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients with chronic pain problems have been through various unsuccessful types of treatments. Up to 80% of the same patients worldwide report that acoustic/shockwave therapy has helped them eliminate their problem.

There may be a slight feeling of discomfort during the treatment, depending on the level of pain the patient is already experiencing in the area being treated. However, since the treatment lasts only about five minutes, most patients are able to tolerate any mild discomfort. Additionally, the intensity of the treatment can be adjusted throughout the session by our medical staff.

The number of treatments varies depending on the indication and tissue response. The effect of the treatment is cumulative, so you will typically need more than one treatment. 

Though some men experience improvements right after their first treatment, this is not the norm and greatly depends on each individual’s condition. 

The only way to determine what is right for you is to come in for a consultation with our professionally trained medical team so they may review your personal health and medical condition, and then determine which treatment program is right for you.

Most treatment plans require treatments which are done 3–10 days apart, depending on the patient’s tolerance and their tissue response.

Most patients experience an immediate pain relief following the treatment. However, within 2–4 hours after the treatment, they may experience some soreness in the treated area. This soreness has been reported as tolerable and not limiting.

It is recommended that patients refrain from physical activity, especially one that would involve the treated region, for about 48 hours following each treatment session.

It really depends on your medical condition and which treatment program is recommended.

Your initial visit is like any visit to most medical clinics and will determine if you are a candidate for our treatment programs, since not everyone qualifies.

The program cost depends on the program the doctor recommends, based on your health situation (example type 1 diabetic may need more treatments than someone that is in good health). 

Like any other medical facility, step 1 is to see our medical team so they can determine if you are a candidate for the program and then design a program specifically for you based on their findings.
