Shockwave Therapy Treatment
Shockwave therapy — which is also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy — is an easy, quick, effective, and non-invasive treatment used to jump-start the body’s ability to regenerate new tissue and expedite the body’s natural healing process in overcoming many musculoskeletal injuries and soft tissue conditions.
Shockwave therapy functions to:
- Increase circulation around injured soft tissue structures
- Break down scar tissue, fascial adhesions and calcified deposits
- Stimulate cells that generate new bone tissue and connective tissue
- Release growth factors in the injured tissue
- Reduce pain by directly overstimulating nerve endings at the affected area

The staff was very friendly and professional. Most importantly, all of the different therapy and adjustment procedures are second to none! Enjoyed every second I was here. Will schedule many more!

How does Shockwave therapy work?
Shockwave uses high focused sound wave energy to break down old scar tissues, injury adhesions, and calcified or fibrous tissues on a micro level in any musculoskeletal area of the body. Such musculoskeletal conditions limit your functional range of motion, contribute to degeneration, impede normal healing, and cause pain.
Tearing and breaking them down stimulates your body’s repair and healing mechanisms to immediately begin rebuilding the affected joints or tissues by attracting your body's own stem cells, growth factors, new fibrin, and cellular matrix.
Most people feel a great improvement immediately after the first treatment with decreased pain and improved function! However, it takes about 21 days to get the full effect following each Shockwave treatment you receive as the body needs time to repair itself.
