Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal Radial Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy is a safe, effective, common, and non-surgical technology utilizing high-energy, short wavelength sound waves, called shockwaves, to treat tendons, bone and periosteum (the pain sensitive membrane on bone).  This is an effective treatment for long term heel pain. 

Ideal for Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles Tendinosis.

Shockwave Therapy is a series of high-energy percussions to the affected area.  The shockwave is a physical sound wave “shock,” not an electric one.

Healing effects include bone and tendon regeneration, increased blood vessel growth and a chemically induced decrease in pain and sensitivity of the pain receptors.
Research proves this modality is extremely effective for most near to bone tendonitis and more so than most of the alternatives. i.e.

• 90% improvement for Plantar Fasciitis (Journal of Orthopedic Research 2005)
• 91% improvement for Calcific Tendinitis (Journal of American Medical Association 2003)
