Pain Management

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical treatment that delivers short bursts of high-intensity mechanical energy in the form of acoustic shockwaves to injured, scarred, painful, or inflamed soft tissues.

About Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy, also called ESWT, uses safe acoustic waves to trigger your body’s natural healing response and relieve pain. The waves increase local blood flow, enhance collagen production, break down scar tissue and adhesions, reduce inflammation, and can help dissolve calcific deposits in damaged tissue. This noninvasive treatment encourages the repair of tendons, ligaments, bone, and muscle while easing discomfort.

Conditions We Treat

ESWT has shown strong results for many chronic musculoskeletal conditions, including:

  • Foot and ankle: plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, heel pain, Morton’s neuroma, chronic ankle pain
  • Leg and knee: shin splints, patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee), knee osteoarthritis, IT band syndrome, hamstring and quadriceps injuries
  • Hip: greater trochanteric pain syndrome, gluteal and hip flexor tendinopathy
  • Elbow and shoulder: tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder
  • Bone: stress fractures, fracture nonunions, avascular necrosis of the femoral head
  • Other: myofascial trigger points and muscle spasticity related to neurological conditions

What to Expect

We begin with a thorough evaluation of your pain, history, and condition, then discuss whether shockwave therapy is right for you. During treatment, a water-based gel is applied and a handheld applicator delivers the shockwaves. Sessions are short, usually 5 to 20 minutes, and some patients describe a sensation like a deep tissue massage. We adjust intensity to keep it tolerable and therapeutic. Most patients see long-term results after only 2 to 5 treatments, typically spaced one week apart.

After Treatment

Mild soreness, redness, or bruising in the treated area is common and usually temporary. Most patients return to normal activities within 24 hours. Because the full benefits develop as tissue heals, we monitor your progress and adjust your plan as needed. We often pair shockwave therapy with complementary treatments such as laser therapy or chiropractic care to support recovery.

If you are dealing with chronic pain or a lingering injury, shockwave therapy may help. Schedule a consultation with our team at Club Five Health to find out if it is right for you.
