Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment using high-energy sound waves to promote healing, reduce pain, and accelerate recovery for orthopedic conditions. 

​

What is shockwave therapy, and how does it work to treat orthopedic conditions?

​

Shockwave therapy uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. These sound waves can increase blood flow, promote collagen production, and break down calcified deposits, accelerating recovery and reducing pain. These sound waves are much stronger than those used in regular ultrasound, with about 1,000 times more pressure. Initially used to break up kidney stones, shockwave therapy also works well for treating orthopedic issues, like tendon wear and tear (tendinopathies). 

​

Which specific conditions or injuries is shockwave therapy most effective for?

​

Shockwave therapy is commonly used to treat a variety of painful conditions that affect muscles, tendons, and joints, including:
