Shockwave therapy, also known as acoustic wave therapy or pressure wave therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that involves the delivery of shock waves to an injured area to promote healing. This treatment produces highly effective shock waves that initiate a biological regeneration processes at the cellular level.

How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
Shockwave applies acoustic waves that are introduced through the skin with a handheld device using short, frequent, and high intensity bursts of mechanical energy to deliver targeted pain relief to soft tissue that is injured, scarred, painful, inflamed or contains adhesions to areas without the need for medications or surgical procedures.
Shockwave is primarily used for pain management using short energy waves. These waves travel faster than sound and help increase the blood flow in an injured area. The increased blood flow helps to speed up the body’s natural healing process aiding Shockwave treatments trigger a cellular response that activates the body’s natural healing process aiding the healing of chronic inflammation and increasing collagen production.
Shockwave therapy can get to the root cause of pain, which effectively provides long-term relief for conditions including:
- Knee pain
- Lower back pain
- Neck pain and shoulder pain
- Foot, heel, and ankle pain
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tennis elbow
- Jumper’s knee
- Tendon pain
- Hamstring pain
- Stress fractures
- Scar tissue
- Morton’s neuroma
- Shin splints
- And more
Because
treatments are a non-invasive alternative to surgery, there are
additional benefits such as:
- Little to no side-effects
- No anesthesia
- No risk of infection
- Cost-effective
- No scarring
Shockwave therapy helps accelerate tissue regeneration which is why many physicians will recommend the treatment in lieu of surgical procedures that may cause more issues or require a longer recovery period.
