What is Shockwave Technology?

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive modern and highly effective treatment method: high-energy sound waves are introduced into the painful areas of the body. Shockwave technology accelerates the healing process in the body by stimulating the metabolism and enhancing blood circulation to regenerate damaged tissue. Strong energy pulses are applied to the affected area. These pulses occur for short periods of time, creating micro-cavitation bubbles that expand and burst. The force created by these bubbles penetrates tissue and stimulates cells in the body that are responsible for bone and connective tissue healing.

How is the treatment performed?

Shockwave treatment is noninvasive. Gel is applied to the treatment area; shockwaves are then released through the applicator as it is moved over the treatment area.

Dr. Ali Akhavan and his staff are very courteous and professional. I had been living with a chronic pain for years in both my shoulder and hip. After receiving Shockwave Therapy from Dr. Akhavan, I wake up and I'm pain free all day. I wish I had known of this treatment years earlier. I would highly recommend the treatment, as well as Dr. Akhavan.

I can’t speak more highly of Doctor Ali Akhavan. When I first visited I was suffering from chronic pain for over a year, seeing everyone I could to try solve the issue. In a very short time with Doctor Ali, I was able to get a diagnosis and treatment plan. After only a month of treatment, my pain had reduced by more than 80%. At the end of my treatment
