Promote Healing. Reduce Pain. Get Back to Your Life.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy, or Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a safe, non-invasive treatment using high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in muscles, tendons, bones, and connective tissues. It helps increase blood flow, regenerate cells, reduce inflammation, and break down calcifications and scar tissue.
This FDA-approved therapy is drug-free and non-surgical, commonly used for conditions like tendinopathies, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and stress fractures. Most patients notice pain relief and improved function after a few sessions.
How Does It Work?
Shockwaves deliver mechanical energy that stimulates tissue repair, boosts blood flow, reduces pain signals, and dissolves stiffness-causing calcifications.
What Conditions Benefit?
Effective for:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tennis elbow
- Tendon injuries
- Certain fractures
- Myofascial pain related to neurological issues
What to Expect
Treatments take about 5–10 minutes. Mild discomfort may occur, but side effects are rare and minor.
Important Safety Info
Not suitable for cancer patients, pregnant women, those with pacemakers, blood clotting issues, infections, or when targeting lungs, brain, spine, or ribs.
After Treatment
Most resume normal activities immediately, but should avoid intense exercise on the treated area for 48 hours. Multiple sessions are recommended for the best results.
