Shockwave Therapy
Why Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. By increasing blood flow, promoting collagen production, and reducing pain, it can help repair injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints while improving mobility and function. It is particularly effective for chronic conditions and may help patients avoid injections or surgery while returning to activity more quickly.

About Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), uses high-energy acoustic waves that are delivered through the skin to injured tissues. These sound waves create controlled mechanical stimulation that increases blood flow, promotes the formation of new blood vessels, stimulates cellular repair, and helps break down scar tissue and calcifications. Rather than simply masking pain, shockwave therapy aims to enhance the body’s natural healing response.
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy
- Reduces pain by decreasing pain receptor sensitivity and stimulating healing.
- Improves blood circulation to damaged tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints.
- Accelerates tissue repair by increasing collagen production and cellular activity.
- Breaks down calcifications that can contribute to chronic pain.
- Improves mobility and function, helping patients return to normal activities faster.
- Non-invasive treatment with no surgery, injections, or downtime.
- Can help chronic conditions that have not responded well to rest, medications, or physical therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Treatments Like?
Read More
Each session last about 3 to 4 minutes per body area. The actual machine makes a noise that is harmless to generate acoustic waves. Ultrasound gel is used over the treatment area to allow the ultrasound waves to penetrate to the injured area.
Does It Hurt?
Read More
Shockwave therapy has an intense feeling that can be uncomfortable but not painful. The patient and provider find that area of treatment intensity to help the healing process
What is the Typical Treatment Protocol
Read More
Shockwave therapy generally requires between 6 and 12 sessions spread over 4 to 6 weeks to allow proper healthy inflammation and proper healing time
Are There any Side Effects to Shockwave Therapy
Read More
Because the intention of the therapy is to create a healthy inflammation the most common side effect is redness of the skin over the treated area. Typically this disappears within a few hours. Tenderness of the healing process can last up to 48 hours as the cells heal the area
