What it is
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment used to reduce pain and stimulate healing in injured or chronically irritated tissues. It is commonly used when symptoms have not fully improved with standard physical therapy..
How it Works
Shockwave therapy delivers targeted sound waves into the affected area to stimulate the body’s healing response.
This helps:
- Increase blood flow
- Break down scar tissue and calcifications
- Promote tissue repair
- Reduce pain sensitivity
It is especially useful for conditions that have become chronic and are not progressing.
What It Helps Treat
Shockwave therapy may be beneficial for:
- Chronic muscle tightness
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendinitis
- Patellar tendinitis
- Tennis elbow
- Golfer’s elbow
- Calcific shoulder pain
- Rotator cuff tendinopathy
- Shin splints
- Hip tendinopathy
- IT band syndrome
What to Expect
Before starting treatment, a detailed evaluation will be performed to determine if shockwave therapy is appropriate for your condition.
Treatments are roughly 20 minutes long and performed in the clinic. Some discomfort during the session is normal, and mild soreness afterward can occur.
Multiple sessions are typically recommended depending on your condition.
Payment
Shockwave therapy is not covered by insurance and is offered as a cash-only service.
Important
Results vary from person to person, and outcomes are not guaranteed. It is often used alongside other treatments to improve overall results.
