Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive procedure that activates the body’s natural healing response. It helps reduce pain and supports the repair of injured tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues by stimulating the release of growth factors in the affected area. This treatment is also known as EPAT (extracorporeal pulse activation technology).

 

Shockwave Therapy Benefits

Benefits

  • Reduces pain by stimulating nerve endings and improving blood flow.

  • Promotes tissue healing through the release of natural growth factors.

  • Improves mobility in joints and soft tissues affected by injury.

  • Breaks down scar tissue and calcifications, helping tissues function more normally.

  • Non-invasive with no need for surgery or injections.

  • Minimal downtime—most people return to normal activity quickly.

  • Effective for chronic injuries, especially when other treatments haven’t worked.

  • Accelerates recovery of tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues.

What To Expect After Shockwave Therapy

Mild soreness or tenderness in the treated area for 24–48 hours is common.

  • You may feel temporary redness, swelling, or warmth—this is part of the healing response.

  • Some people experience immediate pain relief, while others notice improvement gradually over several sessions.

  • Bruising is possible but usually mild.

  • You can go back to normal daily activities right away, but avoid high-impact exercise for 24–48 hours unless your provider says otherwise.

  • The healing process continues over the next few weeks as the tissue regenerates.

  • Results typically improve session by session, with the best outcomes appearing after the full treatment course.
