Focused Shockwave Therapy is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. This FDA-approved technology delivers precise energy to specific areas of damage, promoting cellular regeneration, increasing blood flow, and reducing pain. The treatment is particularly effective for chronic conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, calcific tendinitis, and non-healing wounds. Shockwave therapy works by triggering the body’s natural healing processes, breaking down scar tissue, and stimulating the formation of new blood vessels. Most patients experience significant improvement after a series of treatments, often avoiding the need for more invasive interventions. The treatment is performed in our office and typically takes 15-20 minutes per session.
