What is Acute pain, exactly? Acute pain is any discomfort that comes on sharply and suddenly. In many cases, this type of pain warns of an underlying problem or is the result of a recent surgery. For some, acute pain is relatively mild and only lasts a few seconds. But for others, pain can last for up to six months. If you notice any of these sensations, you might be dealing with acute pain:

• Throbbing
• Tingling
• Numbness or weakness
• Burning
• Stabbing, sharp jolts of pain

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is an innovation that helps minimize the effects of acute joint and other musculoskeletal conditions.  It is not an electric shock.  It is a sound wave.  It is similar to the type of technology that Urologists have used for decades to treat kidney stones.   This acute pain therapy is highly-effective yet non-invasive. It uses pressure waves to stimulate metabolism, improve circulation, and promote faster healing.

This therapy is being used more and more as an intervention for acute pain. This is because AcuteWave technology treats a wide variety of pain conditions and can target nearly any area of the body. Talk to BioRestore Health about using  to address these conditions:

• Muscular pain and injury
• Shoulder discomfort
• Acute lower back pain
• Acute foot, ankle, and heel pain
• Pain in the upper and lower extremities
• Acute pelvic pain
• Pain associated with myofascial trigger points

Good news—the treatment process is quite easy. First, we apply a specialized gel to the target area. Then, we use the ESWT device to release pressure waves onto your painful neck, back, or joints. As the waves make contact with the body, we move the applicator across the target area in a circular motion. Before you know it, the session is over, and you’re ready to go about the rest of your day. Don’t forget to come in next week for your next session! Most patients require 3-4 sessions. 

It’s difficult to put a price on acute pain management, but at BioRestore Health, we understand that you aren’t made of money. We strive to keep the AcuteWave costs reasonable. In general, similar shockwave therapies cost around $300 per session, but that fee can vary depending on where you live and the extent of your condition. We’ll discuss pricing in more detail during your initial consultation.

ESWT by AcuteWave has been shown to be safe time and time again. This technology is cleared by the FDA and has been subject to extensive clinical studies to prove effectiveness. No significant risks or side effects have been reported after using this acute pain treatment.

Whether you’re struggling with acute shoulder pain or joint pain that isn’t going away, AcuteWave offers exceptional results. According to clinical studies, over 80% of ESWT patients report the absence of pain after therapy, or at the very least, a significant reduction in discomfort.
