What is Shock Wave Therapy?

Shock Wave Therapy is an evidence-based practice that activates the body’s natural healing processes using sound waves. It is delivered in a single, high-frequency range pulse. Each 10-minute session adds up to 2500 to 3000 shocks to the injured area and is useful for both superficial to deep tissue repair and rehabilitation.

How Does Shock Wave Therapy Treatment Work?

The treatment works by generating acoustic waves through a hand-held device that is applied to the skin. These shock waves penetrate deep into the tissue, stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. The treatment promotes increased blood flow, collagen production, and cell regeneration, which helps to reduce pain and improve function in the affected area.

Shock Wave Therapy is effective for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Tendinitis (e.g., Achilles tendinitis, tennis elbow)
