While the name might sound a bit intense, shockwave therapy is a clinically proven, noninvasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. These sound waves penetrate deep into the tissue, triggering a cascade of biological effects — including increased circulation, reduced inflammation, and accelerated cellular repair.

At our practice, we use this advanced therapy to target areas of chronic pain or injury that haven’t responded to other treatments. It’s a gentle yet powerful way to support your body in doing what it does best — healing itself.

How Shockwave Therapy Supports Healing

Shockwave therapy offers three powerful benefits for healing damaged tissue. First, it promotes the formation of new blood vessels, enhancing circulation and bringing vital nutrients to the area. Second, it helps break down and clear out excess calcium deposits that can build up around chronic injuries. And third — perhaps most impressively — it activates your body’s own stem cells, jumpstarting tissue repair in a way that research shows can be twice as effective as direct stem cell injections.

Conditions We Treat

Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for addressing the following:

  • Sports injuries and muscle strains
  • Joint pain and inflammation
  • Chronic soft tissue conditions
  • Peripheral nerve issues
  • Post-surgery rehabilitation
  • Tendon and ligament problems

What to Expect

During your session, Dr. Chad uses a specialized handheld device to deliver acoustic waves to the affected area. Each treatment typically takes about 30-40 minutes. While you may feel some discomfort during the application, most patients tolerate it well. Perhaps best of all, many reported improvement after just a few sessions.

For maximum results, we often combine shockwave therapy with our other regenerative treatments like EMTT. This integrated approach helps ensure optimal tissue healing and faster recovery. Dr. Chad will create a customized treatment plan based on your specific condition and healing goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during a shockwave session?

The sound waves create tiny, controlled stimulation in your tissues that trigger new blood vessel growth. This therapy also helps clear out calcium buildup from old injuries—something we couldn’t effectively treat before this technology.

Where does it work best?

If you have knee pain, shoulder problems, or ankle issues—essentially any injury away from your spine—shockwave therapy could benefit you. It’s particularly good at treating those nagging injuries that just won’t heal.

Do you combine shockwave therapy with other treatments?

We actually get the best results when we pair it with EMTT.
