Shockwave Treatment For A Musculoskeletal Site

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 0101T

A machine presses against the skin and sends strong pulses of sound energy into a painful tendon, ligament or bone area, with the aim of stirring up the body's own repair response in tissue that has stopped healing on its own. It can be aimed at whichever part of the musculoskeletal system is causing trouble rather than being tied to one joint or limb. Nothing is cut or removed, and it is given as an outpatient treatment.
