What is Radial Pulse Therapy

Radial Pulse Therapy uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. This treatment:

Reduces soft tissue pain

Increases circulation

Improves tissue regeneration

By delivering targeted mechanical energy, Radial Pulse Therapy enhances blood flow and encourages the body to repair damaged tissue—without surgery, injections, or downtime.

Conditions Treated with Radial Pulse Therapy

Plantar Fasciitis (heel pain)

Achilles Tendinitis

Diabetic Wounds

Shin Splints

How Does It Work?

Chronic pain occurs when the body stops recognizing an injury, shutting down the natural healing process. Radial Pulse Therapy reactivates healing by creating microtrauma in the affected tissue, triggering the body’s regenerative response.

The treatment stimulates cellular activity, leading to the formation of new blood vessels and the release of healing biochemicals that repair damaged tissue.

What to Expect During Treatment

Fast & Convenient

Sessions take about 5 minutes and are performed in-office once a week.

Minimal Discomfort

Some patients feel mild discomfort during treatment, which helps pinpoint the injured area.

Most patients need 3 to 5 treatments spaced 4 to 7 days apart for optimal results.
