Radial shockwave therapy is a treatment that uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate healing in injured or painful tissues. It is commonly used for chronic musculoskeletal conditions, particularly those involving tendons, ligaments, and areas of long-standing inflammation.

​

This therapy works by increasing blood flow to the affected area, stimulating cellular repair, and helping to break down scar tissue or calcifications that may be contributing to pain and restricted movement. It can also help “reset” pain signals, making it especially effective for conditions that have not responded well to other treatments.

​

Radial shockwave therapy may be helpful for:

​

• Plantar fasciitis

• Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow

• Shoulder tendinopathy and calcifications

• Achilles tendinopathy

• Patellar tendon pain (jumper’s knee)

• Hip pain and IT band syndrome

• Chronic muscle tightness and trigger points

• Scar tissue and repetitive strain injuries

​

Treatment is typically quick and targeted, with most sessions lasting only a few minutes on the affected area. While some mild discomfort may be felt during treatment, intensity is always adjusted to your comfort level.

As part of your visit, massage therapy is incorporated into your session, allowing for additional soft tissue work before or after shockwave treatment. This not only enhances results but also ensures your treatment can be billed under massage therapy benefits when applicable.

​

Each treatment plan is individualized based on your condition and goals, often delivered as a short series of sessions to achieve the best outcomes. Radial shockwave therapy is an effective option for accelerating recovery, reducing pain, and helping you return to normal activity more quickly
