Shockwave therapy may be considered for certain chronic tendon, heel, joint, or soft-tissue problems that have not improved as expected.
- Plantar heel pain
- Certain tendon concerns
- Selected shoulder, knee, or foot pain
A non-invasive option that uses focused acoustic pressure waves to stimulate a local healing response in qualifying tendon, joint, heel, and soft-tissue concerns.
Nagging tendon, heel, joint, or soft-tissue pain can interfere with work, exercise, and ordinary movement. Shockwave therapy delivers acoustic pressure waves to a focused area and may support the body’s natural repair response.
It is not automatically the right choice for every painful condition. The doctors first review your history, examine the area, and determine whether shockwave therapy is appropriate as part of your overall care plan.
The treatment is used selectively after an evaluation, with the location, intensity, and overall plan tailored to your symptoms and clinical findings.

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that delivers acoustic pressure waves to a focused area. It may be used to support pain reduction and function in certain tendon and soft-tissue conditions.
Most people feel a series of tapping or pulsing sensations over the selected area. Tender spots can feel more sensitive, so the intensity is adjusted based on your comfort and clinical needs.
It may be considered for selected chronic tendon, heel, shoulder, elbow, knee, foot, or other soft-tissue concerns. The diagnosis and location matter, so an evaluation is required.
There is no universal number. The recommended schedule depends on the condition, how long symptoms have been present, your response, and the doctor’s findings.
Many patients can return to ordinary activities, but temporary soreness can occur. The team will explain activity guidance based on the area treated and your individual response.
