What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes acoustic waves to target and stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms. The shockwaves are generated by a special device and directed at the affected area. A typical session takes about 30 minutes or less. Shockwave therapy stimulates the healing process in tendons, muscles, and other soft tissues. Depending on the condition, the full course of treatment may require 1-8 sessions.

Conditions Treated With Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is utilized to address a variety of chronic pain conditions, including but not limited to:

Tendonitis

Whether it’s tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis, or other forms of tendon inflammation, shockwave therapy can provide relief.

Plantar Fasciitis

Individuals dealing with painful plantar fasciitis often find relief through shockwave therapy.

Calcific Shoulder Tendinopathy

This treatment effectively reduces calcium deposits in the shoulder tendons, improving mobility and comfort.

Muscle Pain and
Spasms

Shockwave therapy can also address muscular issues and reduce spasms.

Shockwave Therapy
Procedure

Mapping the Treatment Area

The doctor visualizes the treatment area using ultrasound or X-ray and marks it for further shockwave therapy. Such techniques help detect a calcified deposit on a heel bone or some other deformity that should be addressed.

Gel Application

The doctor applies ultrasound gel, which serves as an interface between the skin and the shockwave device. This gel improves the transmission of waves and makes the procedure more comfortable.

Applying Shockwaves

The shockwave therapy device is placed against the skin. High-energy acoustic waves are then transmitted into the target areas. The patient feels a tapping sensation as the waves enter the body, leading to improved blood flow and soft tissue regeneration. Such treatment sessions usually take less than 30 minutes.

Recovery After
Shockwave Therapy

The recovery time after shockwave therapy varies depending on the condition being treated and the individual patient. Most people can resume normal activities immediately following the procedure. The target area may be tender for a few days, but all symptoms typically resolve within a week. Rest and ice packs can help manage any pain or inflammation.

It may take several weeks or months to see the full results of shockwave therapy because multiple sessions are usually needed to achieve the desired outcomes. Patients should follow all post-procedure instructions to support proper healing.

Candidates for Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy may be suitable for many patients. When determining if an individual is a good candidate, we consider their underlying condition and previous treatments tried. Patients with the following issues are usually eligible for shockwave therapy:

Chronic tendinopathies (Achilles tendonitis, calcific shoulder tendonitis, tennis elbow, jumper's knee, and others)
Hip bursitis
Muscle pain and spasms
Chronic pelvic pain syndrome
Delayed bone healing or nonunion fractures
Chronic plantar fasciitis that has not responded adequately to conservative treatments, such as rest, ice, stretching exercises, orthotics, and anti-inflammatory medications

Improves Blood Circulation

I had my knee injected and it’s the best thing I’ve done in the last 20 years. I can walk pain-free much better than getting my knee replacement no pain and I’m able to walk miles. The best thing I’ve done for myself in years.
