Shockwave Therapy
Technology Overview Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that delivers high-energy acoustic pressure waves into injured tissue. These mechanical sound waves stimulate the body's natural healing response by increasing blood flow, promoting cellular repair, reducing pain, and helping break down chronic scar tissue and calcifications. Unlike electrical stimulation or ultrasound, shockwave therapy transfers mechanical energy deep into tissues, triggering biological changes that encourage regeneration.
Conditions Commonly Treated
· Cervical Joint/Disc conditions
· Lumbar Joint/Disc conditions
· Plantar fasciitis
· Heel Spurs
· Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
· Golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis)
· Shoulder conditions
· Knee conditions
· Hip bursitis
· Myofascial trigger points
· Scar tissue and adhesions
· IT band syndrome
How It Works
The acoustic waves create controlled mechanical stress within the tissue. This stimulates new blood vessel formation (neovascularization), increases cellular metabolism, releases growth factors, decreases pain signaling, and supports collagen remodeling. Most patients experience gradual improvement over several weeks as healing progresses.
Treatment Regimen
Treatment frequency depends on the condition being treated. For most chronic musculoskeletal conditions, 1 treatment per week for 3–6 sessions is typical. Acute conditions may respond in fewer visits, while longstanding or severe cases may require additional sessions. Daily treatment is generally not recommended for the same area because the tissue needs time to respond to the biological effects of the therapy. Clinical progress is reassessed throughout care.
