If you’re exploring non-invasive pain relief options, understanding what to expect from Shockwave and Laser Therapy is essential. At the Pain Center of Rhode Island, we combine advanced therapies like Shockwave Therapy, EMTT, and Laser Therapy in a comprehensive treatment plan to target pain, promote healing, and improve your quality of life.
Step 1: Personalized Evaluation
Before beginning treatment, every patient undergoes a detailed evaluation to determine eligibility. This ensures the therapies are safe and effective for your specific condition. Patients with the following conditions may not qualify:
- Pacemakers due to potential interference.
- Metal Implants unless cleared by an MRI conducted within the past two years.
- Pregnancy, as a precautionary measure.
This assessment allows us to develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique pain management needs.
Step 2: Comprehensive Non-Invasive Treatment Plan
Your treatment plan includes a combination of Shockwave Therapy, EMTT, and Laser Therapy, spread across four sessions over four weeks. These therapies work synergistically to deliver optimal results by targeting pain at multiple levels.
Step 3: EMTT and Muscle Preparation
Each session begins with EMTT therapy, designed to reset cellular function and reduce harmful inflammation. This is followed by a V-Actor massage, which loosens muscles and tissues, creating the perfect foundation for the next stages of therapy.
Step 4: Shockwave Therapy
Radial Shockwaves: These waves stimulate blood flow and treat a broad area around the affected site.
Focused Shockwaves: These penetrate deeper tissues to precisely target the source of pain and promote healing.
During your first session, we use a lighter intensity to ensure your comfort. As the treatments progress and pain subsides, we gradually increase intensity for maximum healing.
Step 5: What to Expect from Laser Therapy
Laser Therapy uses focused light energy to penetrate deep into tissues, promoting cell regeneration and reducing inflammation. It’s particularly effective for:
- Relieving joint and muscle pain.
- Accelerating recovery from injuries.
- Reducing swelling and improving mobility.
Most patients find Laser Therapy painless and relaxing, with noticeable results after the first few sessions.
Step 6: Monitoring and Progress
Patients typically experience significant pain relief within two days of the first session. The initial session helps gauge how your body responds to the therapy. If pain persists, additional shockwave sessions or adjustments to your treatment plan may be recommended.
