Tons of peer reviwed evidence in PUBMED. I have used radial and focused shockwave for myofascial pain the in traps

Hi, I have had 5 of 9 Softwave treatments on my wrist, which is bone on bone. It has increased my range of motion. Also helps alleviate the pain. Unfortunately, it is expensive. Insurance does not cover it. At least mine does not. I was told that even after all your treatments, your body will continue to heal the area treated up to 16wks (give or take). It won't replace my Cartlidge, but it will or can support bone regrowth where the bone has been grinded away. Not sure if that's a good thing since I don't have Cartlidge. I started the treatments for a chance to heal and not have another useless failed surgery. Unfortunately, it will not fix me permanently (Solely my guess). I was never told by my ortho hand surgeon, of 5 years, that I have Osteoarthritis. Now my only option from him is to fuse my wrist and metal rods and plates. NO thank you!! I love to kayak! So, after all that, yes it helped me quite a bit with pain and range of motion/mobility. I could not wipe myself before the treatments, by the 2nd treatment I was good. Sorry to be so truthful, but that sucked. It's my dominant hand. Long term has yet to be determined. Good luck to you!

Any suggestions on options for bone-on-bone relief please feel free to let me know. Thank you..
