Shock Wave Therapy

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses high-energy sound waves (shock waves) to stimulate healing and reduce pain in various musculoskeletal conditions. 

It is very useful in treating a myriad of different injuries related to muscle/tendon/ligament dysfunction.  We use the Piezowave 2 Shockwave machine from Elvation Medical for focused shockwave therapy.  It has been shown in research and clinical practice to aid in recovery of these types of injuries and pain

If you’re dealing with lingering pain or a tough injury that just won’t heal, Shock Wave Therapy can help:

• Relieve Pain: Targets stubborn areas of discomfort to ease pain.
• Speed Up Healing: Stimulates blood flow and cell repair for faster recovery.
• Break Up Scar Tissue: Helps restore mobility by breaking down scar tissue and calcifications.
• Non-Surgical: A safe and effective alternative to surgery or more invasive treatments.

This therapy is especially effective for:

• Plantar fasciitis
• Tennis elbow
• Calcific shoulder tendinitis
• Achilles tendinopathy
• Chronic muscle or joint pain
• Shin splints
• Sports injuries

Each session is quick and straightforward. After identifying the problem area, we’ll apply a specialized device to deliver focused sound waves into the tissue. Most sessions last about 15-20 minutes, and while some patients feel improvement immediately, others notice gradual relief after a few sessions. You might feel a little soreness during or after treatment, but that’s just your body kicking into healing mode.
