Shockwave

One of the primary reasons for a physical therapy visit is pain. Many patients come to us saying they have tried everything-injections, medications, even surgery-and their pain persists. Shockwave therapy can be an effective option to reduce pain and help you move and feel better.

What is Shockwave?

Shockwave is a simple, non-invasive, and repairable treatment modality that promotes healing in chronic and acute injured tissues. The treatment uses sound wave technology to activate the body’s natural resources that initiate the healing process, improve tissue health, increase blood flow, and reduce pain.

Benefits of Shockwave include:

• Decreased pain and inflammation
• Improved blood flow 
• Increased collagen production
• Improved tissue quality and regeneration
• Increased recovery time for chronic tendon, ligament, and muscular injuries
• Destruction or decreased size of calcium deposits
• Little to no risk with no downtime or activity restriction after treatment.

Will Shockwave help me?

Shockwave treatments can provide relief for a variety of conditions, including:

• Tendonitis, tendinosis, tendinopathy
• Plantar fasciitis
• Rotator cuff-related pain
• Lateral hip/gluteal pain
• Tennis and golfer’s elbow
• Muscle strains 
• Bone spurs 
• Stress fractures

A combination of shockwave, exercise, and hands-on care can kick-start the healing process, getting you back to the activities you enjoy.
