What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured or painful tissue.

These sound waves help:

  • Increase blood flow
  • Break down scar tissue
  • Stimulate the body’s natural repair processes

It’s commonly used for chronic conditions where healing has slowed or stalled.

What Conditions Can Shockwave Therapy Help Treat?

Shockwave therapy is especially effective for:

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Achilles tendonitis
  • Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
  • Shoulder pain and rotator cuff injuries
  • Patellar tendonitis (knee pain)
  • Chronic muscle tightness or trigger points

If you’ve been dealing with persistent pain that hasn’t responded to rest or traditional care, this may be a good next step.

What to Expect During Treatment

Shockwave therapy sessions are quick and performed right in our office.

During treatment:

  • A handheld device delivers targeted pulses to the affected area
  • Sessions typically last 10–15 minutes
  • Most patients require a series of treatments for best results

You may feel mild discomfort during treatment, especially in sensitive areas, but this is temporary and well-tolerated.

Why We Combine Shockwave Therapy with Other Treatments

Shockwave therapy is most effective when used as part of a comprehensive plan.

That’s why we often combine it with:

Chiropractic Care + Physical Therapy + Massage Therapy

This approach helps:

  • Address the root cause of your pain
  • Improve mobility and strength
  • Support long-term recovery

Is Shockwave Therapy Safe?

Shockwave therapy is considered safe and non-invasive, with minimal downtime.

Some patients may experience mild soreness after treatment, similar to post-exercise discomfort, which typically resolves within a day or two.

Our team will evaluate your condition to determine if shockwave therapy is appropriate for you.

When Should You Consider Shockwave Therapy?

You may be a good candidate if:

  • Your pain has lasted several weeks or longer
  • Other treatments haven’t provided lasting relief
  • You want to avoid injections or surgery
  • Your injury involves tendons, fascia, or chronic soft tissue irritation
