Frequently Asked Questions

What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive highly effective treatment method for acute and chronic injuries. Shockwave technology accelerates the healing process by stimulating the metabolism and enhancing blood circulation to regenerate damaged tissue. High energy acoustic waves are applied to the affected area(s) of the body. These pulses occur for short periods of time, creating micro-cavitation bubbles that expand and then burst. The force created by these bubbles penetrates the tissue and stimulates cells in the body that are responsible for bone and connective tissue healing.

What type of conditions can be treated with Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave treatment can successfully address acute and chronic issues as:

  • Knee Pain
  • Break up Calcifications
  • Enhanced blood vessel formation
  • Enhancement of Trigger point injection therapy
  • Collagen stimulation and cellular recovery
  • New blood vessel formation
  • Achilles tendonitis and shoulder tendonitis
  • Achilles tendinopathy
  • Chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain (myofasical pain syndrome)
  • Heel pain/heel spur (Plantar fasciitis)
  • Tennis/Golfer’s elbow (radial/ulnar humeral epicondylitis)
  • Jumper’s knee (Patellar tendonitis)
  • Muscle tension caused by painful muscular nodules (Trigger points)
  • Shoulder pain, shoulder calcifications (Calcific Rotator Cuff Tendonitis)
  • Achilles tendon pain (achillodynia)
  • Shin pain (Tibial stress syndrome)
  • Hip joint pressure pain (greater trochanter pain)
  • Bursitis (most joints)
  • Stress fractures
  • Mortons Neuroma
  • Scar Tissue Treatment (Helps to reduce chronic pain from damaged connective tissue)
  • Hallux Rigidus
  • Lymphatic drainage
  • Heel Pain
  • Foot Pain
  • Ankle Pain
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Hamstring Pain
  • Back Pain
  • Neck Pain

How is the Shockwave treatment performed?

The treatment is noninvasive. First, a gel is applied to the treatment area. Second, an applicator is applied and manipulated to release pressure waves over the affected area. Treatment sessions typically last 5 minutes, but this can vary depending on the area(s) and condition being treated.

What type of results are expected?

Beneficial effects are often experienced after only one or two treatments, and many patients report immediate relief. The technology has a 91% success rate as per clinical studies.

What are the possible side effects?

Treatment with Shockwave technology has virtually no side effects. In some cases, patients may experience minor discomfort for a few days. Patients can return to work after treatments and in most all cases there is no downtime.

Who is a candidate for Shockwave therapy?

Most people are excellent candidates for Shockwave treatment however patients who are pregnant, have a pacemaker or current cancer are not suitable for treatment with Shockwave Technology.

How can I learn if Shockwave Treatments will help my condition?
