Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) – Heal Faster, Live Better

Drug-free | Non-invasive | Clinically Proven

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy (also called Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy, ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that delivers focused sound waves into injured or painful tissues. These waves are not electrical — they are acoustic energy, similar to ultrasound but more powerful and targeted.

Think of it as a way to “wake up” slow-to-heal areas, encouraging your body to repair itself.

How Does It Work?

When shockwaves enter the body, they create a small but powerful mechanical stimulus. This sets off a series of healing responses:

  • Boosts circulation – increases blood flow, oxygen, and nutrients to speed up repair.
  • Breaks down scar tissue & calcifications – restoring flexibility and function.
  • Activates cellular repair – stimulates growth factors and stem cells for regeneration.
  • Resets pain pathways – calms irritated nerves and reduces chronic pain signals.

I am so incredibly grateful for the shockwave treatments I’ve received on both my shoulder and my knee. My chronic shoulder injury from 12+ years of pitching healed in just about 7 sessions. I can now throw a ball like I have a young shoulder again. My kids are thrilled that I can play with them. Also, my chronic knee injury is just about fully healed now too. I am pain free and my range of motion and mobility are coming back. So grateful for the technology, the doctor’s expertise, and the care I’ve received. JA Sebastopol

I started seeing Dr. Bennis in September of 2024 for my back. He got me back in shape and I couldn’t figure out why I still hurt. Dr. Bennis took a different look at my X-ray and saw my hip was bone on bone. Chad suggested shock wave therapy before hip replacement surgery and I said yes let’s do it. I did shock wave therapy every week for a month. I believe it made my healing recovery a snap. I had surgery July 30 2025 and in 5 days I put my walker and cane away. Physical Therapy was just amazed at my recovery. I’m happy to share I’m back in action on our farm. JM Sebastopol

I fully believe shockwave therapy saved me from having Tommy John surgery (ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction). I stopped pitching for a whole season to let my arm rest and heal, but even that didn’t help. I had 6 sessions of shockwave and I was back on the bump and stronger than before. HF Sebastopol

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.

What to Expect

Most people feel a deep tapping sensation during treatment. Discomfort is mild and temporary — often described as “pressure” more than pain. Many patients notice pain relief and improved mobility within a few sessions, with continued healing over the following weeks.
