Treatment
Shockwave Therapy
For pain that will not quit, like a nagging tendon or heel, shockwave sends focused energy into the tissue to kick-start healing that stalled.
Shockwave therapy delivers focused sound-wave pulses into tissue that has stalled in the healing process. It is especially useful for stubborn tendon and heel problems that have not responded to rest. It is non-invasive and done right in the office.
The pulses create a controlled stimulus that sparks fresh blood flow and repair in the treated area. This essentially restarts a healing process that had stopped. Over a short series, the tissue begins to rebuild.
Long-standing tendon and joint pain often eases as the tissue repairs. Many people regain the ability to walk, train, or work without the nagging ache. Because it targets the tissue directly, the aim is real resolution, not a temporary quiet.
