A Helping Hand for Your Recovery
At Pain Relief Clinic Cerritos, we’re proud to offer the Chattanooga RPW 2 Shockwave Therapy, an FDA approved innovative medical treatment offering non-invasive relief for chronic pain and various musculoskeletal ailments. Whether you're an athlete, an active individual, or recovering from a musculoskeletal condition, Radial Pressure Wave (RPW) Therapy is designed to get you back to doing what you love—faster and with less discomfort.
What Is RPW Shockwave Therapy?
Radial Pressure Waves are acoustic waves that generate oscillations in soft tissue.
These waves:
- Stimulate connective tissue
- Temporarily improve local blood flow
- Help reduce muscle pain
- Support healing of tendons and soft tissue injuries
RPW Therapy is commonly used in the treatment of tendinitis, chronic pain, and other musculoskeletal disorders. Backed by clinical research, this modality enhances your recovery by supporting the body's natural healing processes through mechanical stimulation and a process known as mechanotransduction.
What Can RPW Treat?
The Chattanooga RPW 2 is designed to target pain and dysfunction in several areas of the body:
- Shoulder Pain (e.g. rotator cuff tendinitis, calcific tendinitis)
- Low Back Pain
- Elbow Pain (e.g. tennis elbow)
- Trapezius and Neck Muscle Tension
- Knee Pain (e.g. patellar tendinopathy)
- Achilles Tendon Pain
- Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Pain
Whether you're struggling with an acute flare-up or chronic pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments, RPW offers an evidence-based alternative to medication and invasive procedures.
What Are the Benefits?
- Short sessions (around 10 minutes)
- Treats large areas of muscle and soft tissue
- Non-invasive with no known significant adverse effects
- Provides muscle massage with a vibrating applicator
- May reduce or eliminate need for medications
- Patients often experience results within 4–6 treatments
What Does It Feel Like?
Patients typically feel a thumping sensation during treatment. If dysfunctional tissue is present, it may cause a mild soreness or discomfort. Healthy areas usually feel little to no discomfort. Post-treatment soreness around the area is common but generally mild.
What to Expect
- Treatment Time: Approximately 10 minutes per session
- Treatment Frequency: Typically 4–6 sessions; some cases may require up to 8
- Recovery: Most patients report improved motion, reduced pain, and faster return to normal activity—even after just one session
