Shockwave Therapy: The Fastest Way to Break Up Pain + Speed Up Healing

Recovery
Written By Malerie Torromeo

Shockwave therapy (also known as acoustic wave therapy) is a non-invasive treatment used to increase circulation, break up adhesions, and activate the body’s natural healing response. It’s ideal for patients with chronic pain, tightness, or injuries that haven’t responded to traditional care.

How Shockwave Works

Shockwave sends high-energy pulses into injured tissues, which:

  • Increase blood flow

  • Stimulate collagen production

  • Reduce inflammation

  • Break up scar tissue + calcifications

  • Improve mobility

  • Speed up healing

Conditions Shockwave Helps:

  • Plantar fasciitis

  • Tennis/golfer’s elbow

  • Rotator cuff injuries

  • Achilles tendinitis

  • Runner’s knee

  • Hip pain

  • Shoulder impingement

  • Chronic tight knots

  • IT band syndrome

What to Expect During Treatment

Sessions are quick (10–15 minutes), slightly uncomfortable but tolerable, and followed by a noticeable reduction in stiffness or pain. Most patients experience relief after 3–5 sessions.

Why We Use Storz Medical (Our Device)

We use the Storz D-Actor, a medical-grade shockwave unit known for precision, consistency, and powerful results — far superior to spa-grade options.

The Takeaway

Shockwave therapy is one of the most effective, evidence-based tools for chronic pain and injury recovery. It accelerates healing, reduces pain, and helps patients get back to normal faster.
