Shockwave Therapy

Acoustic shockwave therapy delivers high-energy sound waves to targeted areas of the body. These mechanical pulses interact with injured or irritated tissue, creating a biological response that may help:

• Increase localized blood flow

• Stimulate cellular activity

• Support collagen production

• Reduce pain sensitivity

• Improve tissue mobility and function

Treatment is performed in-office and does not require anesthesia or downtime.

The acoustic waves penetrate through the skin and into the affected tissue. This controlled mechanical stimulation may:

• Trigger a healing response in chronically inflamed tissue

• Break up calcific deposits in certain conditions

• Stimulate new microcirculation

• Encourage tissue remodeling over time

Unlike medications that temporarily mask discomfort, shockwave therapy works by activating the body’s own repair processes.

Shockwave therapy is commonly used to support patients experiencing:

• Plantar fasciitis

• Tendonitis (shoulder, elbow, knee, Achilles)

• Calcific shoulder conditions

• Chronic soft tissue pain

• Myofascial trigger points

Your provider will determine if you are an appropriate candidate after a comprehensive evaluation.

How long does it take?

How many sessions will it take?

• Most patients require a series of sessions
