What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. Originally developed to break up kidney stones, it’s now widely used in sports medicine and regenerative care to treat chronic pain and musculoskeletal injuries.

How Does It Work?

Shockwave therapy delivers focused sound waves deep into damaged tissue. These high-energy acoustic pulses activate the body’s natural healing response by:

• Increasing blood flow to the area
• Breaking down scar tissue and calcification
• Stimulating collagen and tissue regeneration
• Desensitizing pain receptors to reduce discomfort
• Triggering local stem cell activity, which supports long-term tissue repair and healing

By activating cellular regeneration at the source of the injury, shockwave therapy promotes faster, more effective recovery — even in conditions that haven't responded to traditional treatments.

What Conditions Can It Help?

Shockwave therapy is ideal for treating a wide range of chronic and acute conditions, including:

• Plantar fasciitis and heel spurs
• Shoulder tendonitis and rotator cuff injuries
• Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow - Great for Palm Beachers!
• Shin splints and patellar tendonitis
• Hip bursitis and IT band syndrome
• Chronic neck and lower back pain (soft tissue origin)
• Scar tissue or adhesion 
• Sports Injuries

Is It Painful?

While most patients tolerate shockwave therapy very well, you may feel pulsing or mild discomfort during treatment — similar to a deep tissue massage. Sessions typically last 8 to 10 minutes. Any post-treatment soreness is usually mild and short-lived and can be alleviated with ice.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

For optimal results, most patients require 6 to 12 sessions, spaced weekly. Results are cumulative — meaning improvements continue even after the final session, as the body completes its healing response.
