Shockwave Therapy
Non-invasive shockwave therapy that stimulates your body's natural healing response, helping you recover from stubborn musculoskeletal injuries and return to the activities you love.
Who This May Help
This service may be beneficial for individuals experiencing:
- Active adults with chronic tendon issues (tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy)
- Individuals with plantar fasciitis or heel pain
- People with stubborn muscle injuries that haven't healed with rest
- Athletes seeking faster recovery from sports injuries
- Those with calcific shoulder tendinopathy
- Individuals with chronic joint pain in knees, hips, or shoulders

What to Expect
Injury Assessment
We evaluate your injury history, current symptoms, and functional limitations to determine if shockwave therapy is appropriate for your condition.
Treatment Planning
Based on our assessment, we create a targeted treatment plan specifying the areas to be treated, the number of sessions recommended, and expected outcomes.
Shockwave Application
Using a handheld device, we deliver focused acoustic waves to the affected tissue. Each session typically lasts 5–10 minutes per area and is well-tolerated.
Post-Treatment Guidance
We provide specific instructions for activity modification, stretching, and rehabilitation exercises to maximize the healing response triggered by shockwave therapy.
Progressive Healing
Most patients notice improvement after 3–5 sessions. We monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed to ensure optimal recovery.
Potential Benefits
How Shockwave Therapy Works
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) delivers high-energy acoustic waves to injured tissues. These waves create a controlled micro-trauma that stimulates your body's natural healing response. The treatment increases blood flow, breaks down scar tissue and calcifications, and triggers the release of growth factors that promote tissue regeneration. It's a powerful tool for chronic conditions that haven't responded to other treatments.
What Conditions Respond Best
Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for chronic tendon disorders (tendinopathies), plantar fasciitis, calcific shoulder tendinopathy, tennis elbow, Achilles tendon issues, and certain types of chronic joint pain. It works best for conditions that have persisted for 3 months or longer and haven't improved with conservative care. A thorough assessment helps us determine if it's the right choice for your specific condition.
Treatment Experience
Sessions are brief (typically 5–10 minutes per area) and can be comfortably performed in our office. You may feel a tapping sensation during treatment, which most patients find tolerable. Some mild soreness after treatment is normal and indicates the healing process has been activated. We typically recommend 3–6 sessions spaced one week apart for optimal results.
