Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate the body's natural healing response.
Shockwave therapy has become one of the most researched treatments for chronic tendon injuries and persistent musculoskeletal pain. It works by increasing blood flow, stimulating tissue regeneration, promoting collagen production, and reducing pain sensitivity.
I treat with the OMNIWave™, an electrohydraulic shockwave system and the most advanced form of the technology available for musculoskeletal care. Its focused waves reach deeper structures that hands and tools cannot get to — and most people find it noticeably more tolerable than the radial units used in a lot of clinics.

Benefits
Shockwave therapy is most effective when combined with progressive rehabilitation and strengthening to maximize long-term outcomes.
What to expect
- 1
We confirm it is the right tool
Every course starts with a movement assessment and hands-on exam. Shockwave is excellent for stubborn tendon pain and poor for a lot of other things, so I check that your injury is one it actually helps — and look for why the tissue stopped healing on its own.

Targeted acoustic waves
A handheld OMNIWave™ applicator delivers focused pressure waves directly into the affected tendon or soft tissue. The treatment itself is quick: most areas take five to ten minutes of hands-on applicator time.

Delivered inside your full hour
Shockwave is not a drop-in, get-zapped-and-leave appointment here. It runs inside your 60-minute one-on-one session, and the rest of the hour goes to manual work and loading the tissue so the stimulus turns into real capacity.

What it feels like
Most people describe a firm tapping or thumping over the area, intense but tolerable. The energy level is adjustable and I set it to what you can handle that day. No anesthesia and no downtime — you walk out and get on with your day.

A short course, not forever
Chronic tendon cases usually respond over a handful of weekly sessions rather than months of care. After your assessment I will give you an honest estimate and clear milestones, and we adjust as your symptoms change.
