💾 SAVE THIS: Shockwave Therapy Dos & Don’ts
DO:
✔️ Hydrate & eat well (protein helps healing)
✔️ Wear loose, comfy clothing
✔️ Stay gently active (walking is great)
✔️ Stretch & strengthen as prescribed
✔️ Use heat after treatment (10–20 min)
✔️ Attend all sessions consistently
DON’T:
❌ Take NSAIDs (ibuprofen, aspirin)
❌ Use ice on the treated area
❌ Run, jump, or lift heavy for 48–72 hrs
❌ Overdo it — even if you feel good
❌ Ignore pain or unusual symptoms
Mild soreness after treatment is normal — it’s part of the healing response.
Shockwave therapy works best when paired with the right rehab + recovery plan.
