Radial Acoustic Shockwave Therapy (rESWT)

Radial acoustic shockwave therapy uses high-energy sound waves delivered through the skin to stimulate healing in injured or painful tissue. It helps improve blood flow, reduce pain sensitivity, and promote tissue regeneration—without injections or surgery (not a replacement for surgery)

What it does:
• Stimulates circulation and metabolic activity
• Breaks down scar tissue and calcifications
• Decreases pain by desensitizing local nerve
endings
• Encourages tendon and soft-tissue healing

Common conditions treated:
• Plantar fasciitis
• Achilles tendinopathy
• Tennis & golfer’s elbow
• Shoulder pain
• Patellar tendinopathy
• Rotator cuff tendinopathy
• Ankle Sprains
• Neck & back pain
• Muscle strains
• Knee injuries
• Hip pain
• Calcific shoulder tendinitis
• Chronic muscle trigger points
• and more!

😬 TMJ Dysfunction – Jaw Pain, Clicking, or Tightness?

TMJ Dysfunction refers to irritation or poor mechanics of the temporomandibular joint—the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. When this joint or the surrounding muscles aren’t working together properly, it can lead to pain, stiffness, and dysfunction.



🔍 What Causes TMJ Dysfunction?

TMJ issues are often multifactorial, including:
• Jaw clenching or teeth grinding (bruxism)
• Poor posture (especially forward head posture)
• Stress and muscle tension
• Trauma or whiplash injuries
• Dental alignment or bite issues
• Prolonged mouth opening (yawning, dental work)



🚨 Common Symptoms

• Jaw pain or tightness
• Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds
• Headaches or facial pain
• Ear pain or pressure (without infection)
• Limited mouth opening or jaw locking
• Neck and shoulder tension



🏠 4 At-Home Therapy Tips to Reduce TMJ Symptoms

1️⃣ Controlled Jaw Opening
Place your tongue gently on the roof of your mouth and slowly open and close your jaw.
👉 Keeps the joint moving in a safer, more controlled pattern.

2️⃣ Masseter & Jaw Muscle Release
Use your fingers to gently massage the jaw muscles along your cheeks and near the jawline for 1–2 minutes.
👉 Helps reduce muscle guarding and tension.

3️⃣ Posture Reset (Neck + Upper Back)
Sit tall, gently pull your shoulders back, and tuck your chin slightly.
👉 Poor posture directly increases stress on the TMJ.

4️⃣ Heat or Moist Heat
Apply warm heat to the jaw area for 10–15 minutes.
👉 Improves blood flow and relaxes tight muscles.
