Shockwave Therapy

 
 

SHockwave is an advanced treatment that uses acoustic shockwaves to break up soft tissue calcifications, enhance collagen synthesis, release growth factors, and stimulate your body’s healing process to improve pain and help you stay active.

This therapy enhances blood circulation and accelerates the healing of stubborn musculoskeletal injuries in the bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscle.

Depending on the injury, patients can avoid invasive treatments such as steroid injections or surgery. Shoclwave therapy requires no incisions or downtime. Most patients see long-term results after only three treatments, which take about 5-15 minutes each. Some conditions that it can help can include:

  • Frozen Shoulder

  • Osteoarthritis in the knees, hips, or shoulders

  • Plantar fasciitis

  • Rotator cuff injuries

  • Strained calves and hamstrings

  • Tendinopathy in the ankle, hip, shoulder, Achilles

  • Tennis or golfer’s elbow

  • Stress fracture

Shockwave therapy is not covered by insurance. (Franklin office only)
