Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is for those stubborn conditions that won’t respond to traditional treatments. Plantar fasciitis that’s been bothering you for months. Tennis elbow that won’t heal. Shoulder pain that keeps coming back. These are often chronic soft tissue injuries with scar tissue that’s preventing proper healing.
Here’s how it works: shockwave therapy uses high-energy sound waves to target damaged tissues. These sound waves stimulate blood flow, break down scar tissue, and trigger your body’s natural healing response. Think of it like breaking up concrete—the sound waves break up the scar tissue so your body can heal properly. Our shockwave therapy unit from Shockwave Centers of America delivers precise, controlled energy exactly where you need it. It’s not always comfortable during treatment, but it can help accelerate healing and reduce pain from chronic conditions that haven’t responded to other treatments.
The benefits of shockwave therapy are significant for chronic conditions. It can help break down scar tissue that’s preventing healing, stimulate new blood vessel formation, and trigger your body’s natural repair processes. Many people who have tried other treatments without success find that shockwave therapy finally gives them the relief they’ve been looking for.
Why choose shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy is an advanced treatment for chronic conditions that haven’t responded to traditional treatments. It works by breaking down scar tissue and stimulating your body’s natural healing processes, which can help you finally get relief from stubborn pain.
Targets chronic conditions
Shockwave therapy is specifically designed for chronic soft tissue injuries that haven’t responded to other treatments. It can help break down scar tissue and stimulate healing in conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and shoulder pain.
Stimulates natural healing
The sound waves used in shockwave therapy stimulate your body’s natural healing processes. They increase blood flow to the area, break down scar tissue, and trigger the formation of new blood vessels, which helps your body heal more effectively.
Non-invasive alternative
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive alternative to surgery for many chronic conditions. It can help you avoid more invasive procedures while still getting the relief you need from stubborn pain.
How shockwave therapy works
Shockwave therapy is a targeted treatment for chronic conditions. Here’s what to expect.
evaluating your condition
01
Dr. Duren will evaluate your condition to determine if shockwave therapy is right for you. She’ll discuss your symptoms, how long you’ve been dealing with them, and what other treatments you’ve tried. Shockwave therapy works best for chronic conditions that haven’t responded to traditional treatments.
targeted treatment
02
During treatment, the shockwave device is applied directly to the affected area. The high-energy sound waves penetrate deep into the tissue, breaking down scar tissue and stimulating healing. You may feel some discomfort during treatment, but it’s generally well-tolerated, and the intensity can be adjusted to your comfort level.
supporting your healing
03
After treatment, your body’s natural healing processes continue to work. The increased blood flow and breakdown of scar tissue help your body heal more effectively. Many people see improvement after 3-5 sessions, though results vary based on your condition and how your body responds.
