Shock Wave Therapy is commonly used for:
Tendonitis and tendinopathy
Plantar fasciitis/heel spurs
Shoulder pain (e.g., rotator cuff issues)
Tennis or golfer’s elbow (lateral or medial epicondylitis)
Bursitis (shoulder/ trochanteric bursitis)
The therapy works by using the acoustic energy to increase blood flow, break down scar tissue and calcifications, and promote the body’s natural healing response. Patients may notice results in 3-4 visits.
Hip or knee pain
Shin splints
Chronic muscle tension/trigger points
Calcific deposits (calcific tendonopathy)
The benefits of shock wave therapy include reducing inflammation, stimulating collagen production and tissue repair, and improving circulation and blood flow to the targeted area to promote tissue healing and relieve pain.
