Shockwave Therapy

Reduce pain, support healing, and improve mobility with non-invasive Shockwave Therapy designed to target chronic tendon, muscle, and soft tissue conditions.

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to target injured or painful areas of the body. The treatment is commonly used for musculoskeletal conditions involving tendons, ligaments, muscles, and other soft tissues.

The acoustic waves are delivered through a handheld device and directed at the affected area. This process is intended to stimulate the body's natural healing response and may help reduce pain associated with certain chronic conditions.

Conditions Commonly Treated

Shockwave Therapy is often used as part of a treatment plan for:

  • Plantar fasciitis

  • Achilles tendinitis

  • Tennis elbow

  • Golfer's elbow

  • Shoulder tendinopathy

  • Patellar tendinitis

  • Chronic tendon injuries

  • Muscle strains

  • Soft tissue injuries

A consultation and examination will help determine whether Shockwave Therapy is appropriate for your condition.

Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

Potential benefits may include:

  • Reduction in pain and discomfort

  • Improved mobility and function

  • Non-surgical treatment option

  • Minimal downtime

  • Short treatment sessions

  • Can be used alongside other therapies and rehabilitation programs

Results vary depending on the condition being treated and the individual's response to care.

What to Expect

During treatment, a handheld applicator is placed over the affected area and delivers acoustic waves to the targeted tissue. Most patients describe the sensation as a series of taps or pulses.

Treatment sessions are typically brief, and patients can usually return to normal daily activities shortly afterward.
