What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy, or Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), delivers focused acoustic pressure waves to tissues experiencing discomfort. These waves create microtrauma that triggers your body's natural recovery response, increasing blood flow and stimulating tissue regeneration. Shockwave is particularly effective for chronic conditions that haven't responded to other approaches, including tendinopathies, plantar fasciitis, and calcific shoulder problems. The process breaks down scar tissue and calcifications while promoting the growth of new, healthy tissue — including supporting nerve regeneration therapy in soft-tissue recovery. As part of our Multi-Signal Regenerative Therapy system, Shockwave pairs with HBOT, PEMF, and Red Light for a comprehensive cellular regeneration therapy approach.
Benefits
Breaks Down Scar Tissue
Acoustic waves help break up calcifications and scar tissue that contribute to chronic pain.
Stimulates Recovery
Triggers the body's natural repair response by increasing blood flow to the targeted area.
Pain Reduction
Many clients experience significant pain reduction, often after just a few sessions.
Improved Mobility
By addressing chronic tension and tissue damage, shockwave therapy can restore range of motion.
Tendon Support
Particularly effective for chronic tendon issues that haven't responded to other treatments.
Non-Invasive
An effective alternative to surgery for many chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
What to Expect
Assessment
We'll examine the treatment area and discuss your symptoms. Ultrasound or palpation helps identify the precise treatment zones.
Preparation
Ultrasound gel is applied to the treatment area to ensure proper transmission of the acoustic waves.
Treatment
The shockwave device is applied to the affected area. You'll feel strong tapping or pulsing sensations. Sessions typically last 15-30 minutes per area.
Intensity Adjustment
We'll adjust the intensity based on your feedback. Some discomfort is normal and indicates the treatment is targeting the problem area.
Post-Treatment
Mild soreness for 24-48 hours is normal. Avoid strenuous activity on the treated area for 48 hours. Results often improve over the following weeks.
