Shockwave
What is Shockwave?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted sound waves to stimulate healing in injured or painful tissues. By increasing blood flow and triggering the body’s natural repair processes, it helps treat chronic conditions that have not fully responded to rest, exercise, or other conservative care. Shockwave therapy does not require surgery or downtime and is commonly used for persistent tendon and soft tissue injuries.
​
Conditions shockwave therapy can treat
-
Persistent plantar fasciitis
-
Achilles tendinopathy
-
Lateral epicondylitis
-
Proximal hamstring tendinopathy
-
Calcific tendinopathies (e.g. rotator cuff, common extensor origin, etc)
-
Stubborn bursitis
-
Chronic scar tissue adherences​
How does Shockwave Work?​
1. Targeted Sound Waves
Shockwave therapy delivers controlled sound waves to injured tissue to stimulate the body’s healing response.
​
2. Increased Blood Flow & Healing Signals
The waves trigger the formation of new blood vessels and improve circulation to the injured area.
​
3. Long-Lasting Pain Relief & Recovery
Enhanced healing leads to reduced pain and improved movement.
Most treatment plans include 3–4 sessions, with about 2,000 pulses per session, spaced one week apart.
