Sermorelin: for Longevity and Performance

Focused Shockwave Therapy: The Third Option Nobody Mentions

Focused shockwave therapy can help tendon injuries and joint arthritis heal instead of just numbing the pain. Subscribe for more from the Rare Wellness Podcast. In this episode, Dr. Lewis breaks down focused shockwave therapy: what it is, how it works, and where the research actually supports it. This isn't the same technology as radial shockwave, and knowing the difference matters if a past treatment didn't seem to help. In this video you'll learn: * How focused shockwave differs from radial shockwave, and why that distinction changes outcomes * The three-part biological process shockwave triggers in the body (growth factors, new blood vessel formation, collagen production) * What the current research shows for tennis elbow, rotator cuff tendinopathy, and knee osteoarthritis * What a typical course of sessions looks like, and the safety profile
