Non‒Invasive Therapy Designed to Support Recovery and Wellness

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment option that uses acoustic waves to stimulate targeted areas of the body. It is offered as a service that may help support the body’s natural healing processes and improve function in certain musculoskeletal conditions. 
Individual results vary, and a consultation with a licensed provider is recommended to determine whether this therapy may be appropriate for your needs.

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy (also referred to as extracorporeal shockwave therapy) uses controlled acoustic waves applied to specific areas of the body. These waves are designed to interact with tissue in a way that may encourage circulation, cellular activity, and biological responses associated with tissue repair. This therapy is commonly offered as part of a broader care plan for individuals experiencing chronic discomfort, reduced mobility, or soft tissue concerns.

How Shockwave Therapy May Help

Some patients report improvements in comfort and function following a series of treatments, though individual experiences and timelines vary.
While outcomes differ from person to person, shockwave therapy is often used with the goal of supporting:
  • The body’s natural healing response
  • Circulation in targeted areas
  • Mobility and range of motion
  • Overall tissue health

Conditions Commonly Addressed

Shockwave therapy may be considered as a supportive option for certain musculoskeletal concerns, including:
Tendon or ligament discomfort

A consultation with a qualified provider is necessary to determine whether shockwave therapy may be suitable for your specific situation.

What to Expect During Treatment

  • Sessions are typically brief and performed in‒office
  • No anesthesia or surgical procedures are involved
  • A handheld device delivers acoustic waves to the targeted area
  • Most patients are able to resume normal activities shortly after treatment
Your provider will discuss the recommended number of sessions based on your goals and clinical evaluation.
