Shockwave Therapy

Shockwaves are rapid changes of air pressure that can move through tissues in your body. Soft tissue such as muscle and tendon absorb these pressure waves very well. The goal is to have the targeted tissue, such as tendon, absorb the energy and mechanical forces contained in these waves. In simple terms, this facilitates healing by improving blood supply to the target tissue and turns down pain signaling to the brain.

Shockwave has been most commonly and successfully utilized for various tendinopathies such as…

Patella tendonitis

Achilles tendonitis

Lateral/medial epicondylitis (golfers/tennis elbow)

Rotator cuff tendinopathy

Plantar fasciitis
