I’ve tried shockwave before and it didn’t work — should I try again?

This is one of the most common questions we hear, and the answer is often yes — but with a different approach. If you have had radial shockwave elsewhere without a full resolution, focused shockwave may be the right next step. Its ability to target deeper structures and deliver higher energy at the focal point can make a real difference in cases that have not responded to radial treatment. It is also worth reviewing the original diagnosis — persistent injuries sometimes have a contributing factor that was not fully identified or addressed the first time around. We are happy to take a fresh look.
