Well Wave therapy is used to find and release trigger points and scar tissue. When the therapy source is directed correctly you will feel a deep ache that may mimic your pain and refer to another area. Discomfort during a session is actually a good thing, that means the Well Wave is on the correct area that is involved in your pain. Your clinician will be sure to keep the treatment within a range you can tolerate.
