How We Treat
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a non‑invasive treatment that uses high‑energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in irritated or damaged soft tissues. It is commonly used for chronic conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and persistent heel pain that have not improved with other conservative treatments. When appropriate, shockwave therapy may also be combined with ultrasound therapy as part of a comprehensive care plan.
​
By triggering the body’s natural repair mechanisms, shockwave therapy helps break down scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation—all without surgery or downtime. Most patients experience noticeable relief after just a few sessions, with continued improvement over time.
How Shockwave Therapy Works
-
High‑energy acoustic waves are delivered to the affected area
-
Tissue metabolism and cellular activity increase
-
Circulation improves
-
Scar tissue and adhesions are disrupted
-
Inflammation is reduced
-
The body’s natural repair processes are activated
​
Conditions Shockwave Therapy May Help With:
-
Plantar Fasciitis
-
Achilles Tendinopathy
-
Chronic Heel Pain
-
Soft‑Tissue Strains
-
Insertional Tendon Pain
-
Chronic Tendon Irritation
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy:
-
Non‑invasive and drug‑free
-
No downtime required
-
Targets chronic, stubborn soft‑tissue pain
-
Complements other treatments such as ultrasound therapy
-
Helps improve mobility and function over time
​
Many patients notice meaningful relief after a series of sessions, with continued improvement as the tissue responds to treatment. Individual results vary depending on the condition being treated, symptom duration, and overall health factors.
