There may be a slight feeling of discomfort during the treatment, depending on the level of pain the patient is already experiencing in the area. However, since the treatment lasts only about five minutes, most patients are able to tolerate this discomfort. Additionally, the intensity of the treatment can be adjusted throughout the session. It is recommended that patients refrain from physical activity, especially one that would involve the treated region, for about 48 hours following each treatment session.
