Shockwave therapy is an extremely versatile and innovative treatment option, able to address a wide array of conditions from joint pain and chronic tendinopathies to erectile dysfunction. This therapy uses acoustic waves to enhance the body’s natural healing processes, promote cellular regeneration, and improve circulation. The result? Significant pain relief and enhanced functionality in the targeted areas.
While powerful on its own, shockwave therapy is often combined with other therapeutic options, such as physical therapy and additional regenerative medicine treatments, to maximize healing effects. Because shockwave therapy is non-invasive, effective, and low-risk, it is a powerful component of our holistic and personalized treatment plans.
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to promote healing in damaged tissues. This regenerative treatment accelerates tissue repair, stimulates cell growth, and alleviates the pain and dysfunction associated with various medical conditions.
There are two main types of shockwave therapy: focused and radial shockwaves. Both utilize acoustic waves, but they differ in their application and depth of penetration, making each suitable for different conditions.
Shockwave therapy is an effective, non-invasive treatment that utilizes high-energy acoustic waves to target injured or affected areas of the body. These shockwaves penetrate deep into the tissues, promoting localized inflammation and triggering the release of growth factors. This process enhances blood circulation, accelerates healing, significant tissue regeneration and repair, helps increase mobility, and even dissolves calcium deposits and plaque. As a result, shockwave therapy offers a promising solution for individuals suffering from both acute and chronic conditions, effectively addressing the root causes of pain, injury, or dysfunction.
Shockwave therapy effectively addresses a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. Because it is non-invasive and low-risk, shockwave therapy is an excellent choice for patients seeking an effective, non-invasive solution that provides targeted pain relief and encourages true healing.

Before starting shockwave therapy, you’ll have a pre-treatment consultation with our team, where we’ll evaluate your medical history and assess your suitability for the treatment. This consultation is an opportunity to discuss your specific treatment goals and to outline your personalized treatment plan.
On the day of your treatment, we’ll have you relax and get into a comfortable position that allows our practitioner to access the area for treatment. Next, we’ll clean and prepare the area for the procedure. Our practitioner will then apply the shockwave therapy device to the affected area, adjusting the device settings to the appropriate intensity and frequency based on your condition and comfort level.
Each session typically lasts about 15-20 minutes, and most patients require 3 to 5 sessions for optimal results, depending on the severity of their condition.
After your session, you can immediately return to your normal activities since there’s no downtime required. However, you might experience mild discomfort akin to a deep tissue massage and some temporary redness or swelling at the treatment site; these effects typically subside within a few hours.
In the first few days after treatment, it’s normal to experience some soreness. As you move into the 1-2 week mark, you may notice a gradual improvement in both pain relief and range of motion as inflammation decreases and healing begins. By 2-4 weeks, enhanced tissue regeneration typically leads to significant improvements, including reduced pain and increased mobility.
Treatment usually involves 3 to 5 sessions spaced about a week apart. Many patients report substantial improvements within 6 to 8 weeks following their final session, resulting in enhanced function and an improved quality of life.
Shockwave Therapy is a fantastic option for individuals struggling with chronic pain from musculoskeletal conditions and soft tissue injuries. If you’re looking for a non-invasive treatment that encourages your body’s natural healing processes without relying on medications, this therapy could be an excellent fit for you. It works well for conditions like tendinopathies, plantar fasciitis, and joint pain, especially if traditional treatments haven’t provided the relief you’re seeking.
