Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT)

Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT) - Nexus Physioconcepts

Radial Shockwave Therapy, or RSWT, is an advanced, non-invasive physiotherapy modality now made available at Nexus Physio Concepts, Pune. It employs high-energy radial shockwaves that aid in stimulating the healing process, reducing pain and inflammation, and enhancing tissue repair in musculoskeletal and neurological disorders.

Many expert physiotherapists and sports rehab specialists in Pune recommend this therapy for chronic pain and movement-related issues.

How it works:

In a session of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy in Pune, shockwaves are created by a special device and imparted to the affected part by a handheld applicator with the conscious guidance of a trained physiotherapist.

The radial shockwaves penetrate deep into the tissues, creating controlled micro-trauma that activates the body’s natural healing response.

This leads to improved blood flow, reduced inflammation, and accelerated tissue repair, thus helping patients recover without surgery or injections.
