Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy (also called Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy – ESWT) is a

non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in

injured muscles and soft tissues.

These sound waves are applied directly to the painful area using a handheld device.

The therapy works by:

• Increasing blood flow to the injured tissue
• Stimulating the body’s natural healing response
• Breaking up tight muscle bands and scar tissue
• Reducing pain and inflammation

Shockwave Therapy promotes healing by:

• Increasing circulation and oxygen delivery
• Activating stem cells and growth factors
• Reducing muscle guarding and chronic tension
• Improving tissue flexibility and mobility

This allows muscles to repair more effectively and reduces the chance of recurring pain.

• Muscle strains and tears
• Chronic muscle tightness or trigger points
• Tendinopathies (Achilles, patellar, rotator cuff)
• Plantar fasciitis
• Tennis or golfer’s elbow
• Hip, calf, hamstring, and shoulder pain
• Pain that has not responded well to rest, therapy, or injections

• Non-surgical and non-invasive
• No injections or anesthesia required
• Minimal downtime – return to normal activity quickly
• Fast treatment sessions (typically 5–10 minutes)
• Clinically proven to reduce pain and improve function

Many patients notice improvement after just a few sessions.

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Have muscle pain lasting longer than 4–6 weeks
• Have tried physical therapy, stretching, or medications with limited success
• Want to avoid surgery or injections
• Are looking for a faster recovery option

A consultation with our provider will determine if Shockwave Therapy is appropriate for

your condition.

• The provider will apply gel to the treatment area
• A handheld device delivers targeted sound waves
• You may feel mild to moderate discomfort during treatment, which is temporary
• Sessions usually last 5–10 minutes
• Most treatment plans involve 3–6 sessions, depending on the condition

Is Shockwave Therapy safe?

• Yes. Shockwave Therapy has been used worldwide for decades and is considered very safe when performed by trained professionals.

Does it hurt?

• Some discomfort may be felt during treatment, but it is brief and well tolerated by most patients.

How soon will I feel results?

• Some patients notice improvement within 1–2 sessions, while others experience gradual improvement over several weeks.

If muscle pain is limiting your daily activities or athletic performance, Shockwave

Therapy may help you heal naturally—without surgery or downtime.
