We are pleased to offer state-of-the-art equipment that allows us to provide patients with the latest treatment technologies. We use the Sonorex Sonocurฎ to provide effective, lasting treatment for the pain associated with soft-tissue conditions such as tendonitis.

This innovative Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy System has provided pain relief in up to 90% of the patients treated in European health centers and is now available in select cities within North America. Unlike other therapies, the low-energy Sonocur treatment does not require a hospital stay or visit, invasive surgery or anesthesia.

The Sonocur Device generates a shockwave which courses through a water- filled generator. The shockwave moves through the water into an acoustic lens, which focuses the energy of the shockwave on a concentrated point at a fixed distance from the lens. The articulating head of the Sonocur machine is placed onto the area where you feel pain and fine adjustments are made to focus the shock waves on the area of therapeutic focus. The treatment consists of initiating a preset number of pulses or shock waves.
