Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in targeted areas of the body. Originally developed to break down kidney stones, this therapy has since evolved to treat a range of musculoskeletal conditions and promote tissue regeneration.

How Does It Work?

Shockwave therapy works by delivering high-energy sound waves to the affected area. These waves create microtrauma in the tissues, which triggers the body’s natural healing response. The increased blood flow and nutrient delivery to the area help to accelerate the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues.

Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is effective for treating various conditions, including:

• Plantar Fasciitis: Reduces inflammation and pain in the heel and bottom of the foot.
• Tennis Elbow: Alleviates pain and promotes healing in the tendons of the elbow.
• Shoulder Tendonitis: Treats inflammation and pain in the shoulder tendons.
• Achilles Tendonitis: Helps repair and reduce pain in the Achilles tendon.
• Chronic Pain: Provides relief for chronic musculoskeletal pain in different parts of the body.

Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

1. Non-Invasive Treatment

One of the most significant advantages of shockwave therapy is that it is a non-invasive procedure. There are no incisions, no anesthesia, and minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities almost immediately.

2. Effective Pain Relief

Many patients experience significant pain relief after just a few sessions. Shockwave therapy targets the root cause of pain, providing long-lasting results and improving your quality of life.

3. Accelerated Healing

By stimulating blood flow and tissue regeneration, shockwave therapy promotes faster healing. This makes it an excellent option for athletes and active individuals looking to recover quickly from injuries.

4. Minimal Side Effects

Shockwave therapy is known for its minimal side effects. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or redness at the treatment site, but these effects are typically short-lived.

5. Versatile Treatment

This therapy can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, making it a versatile addition to our integrated medical office. Whether you’re dealing with a chronic condition or a recent injury, shockwave therapy may be the solution you’ve been looking for.

What to Expect During a Session

During a shockwave therapy session, a handheld device is used to deliver the shockwaves to the targeted area. The procedure typically lasts about 15-30 minutes, depending on the size and severity of the condition being treated. Most patients require a series of sessions, spaced out over several weeks, to achieve optimal results.
