Non-Invasive Treatment for Chronic Pain and Injury
Shockwave therapy is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. In physical therapy, shockwave is commonly used to treat chronic tendon injuries, stubborn soft-tissue conditions, and pain that has not improved with traditional treatments.
During treatment, a handheld device delivers targeted acoustic pulses to the injured tissue. These pulses increase blood flow, stimulate cellular repair, and help break down damaged or calcified tissue. The result is improved healing, reduced pain, and better function.
Shockwave therapy is performed in the clinic, requires no injections or surgery, and typically takes only a few minutes per session.
Conditions Shockwave Therapy Can Help Treat
Shockwave therapy is commonly used for:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
- Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)
- Shoulder calcific tendinitis
- Chronic hip or hamstring tendinopathy
- Myofascial trigger points
It is particularly helpful for chronic conditions that have not responded to rest, medication, or traditional therapy alone.
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy
Patients often choose shockwave therapy because it offers:
- Non-surgical treatment option
- Short treatment sessions
- Minimal downtime
- Improved tissue healing
- Pain reduction and improved mobility
Many patients begin to notice improvement within a few treatments as the body’s healing response is activated.
What to Expect
Shockwave therapy is typically delivered over a series of short sessions as part of your personalized physical therapy plan. Your therapist will evaluate your condition, determine if shockwave is appropriate, and integrate it with other treatments such as manual therapy and corrective exercise to maximize results.
