Shockwave

Short, high-energy mechanical pulses to reduce pain and stimulate healing in tough tendon/fascia problems—paired with a loading plan.

What it helps with

Conditions It Can Help

Plantar fasciitis / plantar heel pain

Persistent heel pain that hasn’t improved with rest or inserts

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (gluteal tendinopathy)

outer hip pain that can radiate to the thigh

Calcific rotator cuff tendinopathy

shoulder pain from calcium deposits in the tendon

Patellar tendinopathy (“jumper’s knee”)

pain at the front of the knee, often with sport or stairs

Mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy

pain in the tendon above the heel (note: insertional cases respond less consistently)

Medial/Lateral epicondylitis ("golers/tennis elbow)

pain on the outside or inside of the elbow from tendon overload especially with gripping or lifting

What to expect

We’ll first screen for safety before treatment begins. A handheld device delivers firm, rhythmic pulses to the painful area, with sessions lasting about 10–15 minutes. Most people complete 3–5 sessions, spaced 1–2 weeks apart, paired with simple loading drills. Progress is usually noticeable within a few visits, and we re-check around session 3 to adjust if needed.

FAQ

Who gets the most from shockwave?

People with stubborn plantar heel pain, GTPS, calcific shoulder, patellar tendinopathy, or mid-portion Achilles who’ve plateaued with basic rehab.

What does a session look like—and how does it fit rehab?

We target the sore zone with a set number of pulses, then give you a matched loading drill. Sessions are spaced 1–2 weeks apart while we build capacity and tolerance to activity

What’s the plan if there’s no change by the third session?

We re-check diagnosis, load strategy, and connecting links. If ESWT isn’t moving the needle, we pivot—don’t just keep zapping.
