Looking for a Non-Surgical Option for Pain Relief?

Shockwave therapy may help stimulate tissue repair, improve circulation, and reduce discomfort associated with certain musculoskeletal conditions.

Schedule your consultation to learn whether shockwave therapy may be appropriate for your needs.

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment that delivers high-energy acoustic waves (shockwaves) to targeted areas of the body. These acoustic waves are generated outside the body and transmitted through the skin to reach deeper tissues without the need for incisions or injections.

During treatment, a handheld applicator delivers controlled pulses of acoustic energy into the affected area. The shockwaves create micro-trauma at the cellular level, which triggers the body’s natural healing mechanisms. This biological response can include increased blood flow, release of growth factors, stimulation of new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis), breakdown of calcified deposits, and activation of stem cells and other repair processes.

Shockwave therapy is widely used to treat chronic musculoskeletal conditions that have not responded well to conservative treatments such as rest, physical therapy, medications, or bracing. It is particularly effective for conditions involving tendons, ligaments, fascia, and other soft tissues where poor blood supply or chronic inflammation has slowed natural healing.

Because tissue healing occurs gradually, a series of treatments may be recommended depending on the condition being treated.

Potential effects include:

Improved blood flow to the area

Stimulation of tissue repair

Activation of cellular regeneration processes

Because many musculoskeletal conditions develop gradually over time, a series of treatments may be recommended to support optimal results.
