Acoustic wave therapy

Focused treatment designed to stimulate your body’s natural repair response.

What is GAINSWave® for Recovery?

A non-invasive way to support your body’s healing response.

GAINSWave® for Recovery uses low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy to deliver controlled acoustic energy
into targeted soft tissue. The goal is to support circulation, stimulate natural repair pathways, and help address
the underlying tissue irritation that can keep pain and stiffness lingering.

This treatment may be helpful when rest, stretching, therapy, medication, or general rehabilitation have not produced
the level of recovery you were hoping for.

Our focus is not just temporary pain relief. We evaluate how the tissue, joints, movement pattern, and daily demands
are contributing to the problem, then build a plan around your specific condition.
01

Stimulates circulation in targeted tissue.

02

Supports repair in chronic or stalled soft tissue problems.

03
