There is a lot of evidence and scientific support indicating that fast and gentle shockwave therapy can help those suffering from painful and debilitating musculoskeletal conditions. However, there are some individuals who are not eligible to receive this form of treatment. Children, pregnant individuals, and those who take blood thinners, have open sores, have heart conditions, or those with a history of seizures may not be eligible for shockwave treatments. If you fall into any of these categories, speak with the professionals at Epic Healthcare & Physical Medicine to find out if you’re a candidate.
