Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (high energy sound waves) has been in existance for over 40 years in the form of Lithotripsy to pulverize kidney stones. Now with the modification of the focal area of the shockwave, these high energy soundwaves are used for muscle and joint pain. The device we use at AdvanceWave is FDA (510)k cleared for: relief of minor muscle aches and pains, temporary increase in local blood circulation, and activation of connective tissue. This device is a class one device, which is in the same classification as a wheelchair and a band-aid. The relief of pain is accomplished with little to no side effects and without the use of drugs, shots or surgery. AdvanceWave is not a medical office or practice. We do not diagnose medical conditions or provide medical advice. Our technicians operate FDA-cleared shockwave technology designed to provide mechanical stimulation that supports the body's natural physiological responses. Note: No technology method works 100% of the time, but our experience mirrors the available data in providing improvement for most people.
