At Peninsula Disc And Nerve Center we are always looking for ways to improve the results our patients have with care. Our new Shockwave technology in San Carlos CA is designed to work at the cellular level. Its gentle impact is aimed at turning on the body's natural healing process. Shockwaves are sound waves that are delivered by a machine through a handheld device. The treatments are typically 3 to 5 minutes and are usually done 2 to 3 times per week over 4 to 6 weeks. Every patient and condition is different so treatment time and duration will vary.
