Shockwave therapy uses focused acoustic sound waves to stimulate healing in injured or slow-healing tissue.
Some injuries don’t heal because blood flow is poor or scar tissue has built up over time. Shockwave therapy helps by increasing circulation, breaking up unhealthy tissue, and jump-starting the body’s natural repair process.
It’s non-invasive, drug-free, and designed to help the body do what it was trying to do all along — heal.
Chronic injuries often stall because fresh blood and nutrients can’t reach the area. Shockwave therapy helps stimulate circulation, bringing oxygen and nutrients to tissues that haven’t healed properly.
Over time, injured tissue can become stiff and fibrotic. Shockwave therapy helps break up unhealthy scar tissue, improving flexibility and allowing the area to move and function more normally again.
Once healing restarts, the goal is to help it stick. This phase supports tissue remodeling and strength so pain doesn’t keep returning with activity or daily use.
Shockwave therapy is often a good fit for people dealing with:
Not every condition responds to shockwave therapy. That’s why it’s only recommended after proper evaluation.
Shockwave therapy uses high-intensity sound waves to wake up old injuries that haven’t healed the way they should. It boosts blood flow, breaks up scar tissue, and jump-starts your body’s natural repair process. Great for tendon pain, chronic muscle tightness, and those “it’s been like this for months” problems that won’t go away.

Your visit begins with a quick, free conversation with Dr. B to see if what’s going on qualifies for care in our office. If it does, we move into a thorough exam — orthopedic and neurological testing, range-of-motion checks, and on-site X-rays when needed.
Once everything’s reviewed, Dr. B walks you through what he found in simple, clear language. You’ll understand exactly what’s happening, what can help, and what your personalized treatment plan would look like. Many patients who qualify for care go on to avoid surgery long-term.
Shockwave therapy is rarely used alone.
At SDCC, it’s often combined with other therapies to restore movement, reduce stress on injured tissue, and help results last long-term.
Some plans involve only a few sessions. Others take more time. Every plan is built around how your body responds.
Most patients describe it as mildly uncomfortable but very tolerable. Intensity is adjusted based on comfort and the area being treated.
Most shockwave sessions last just a few minutes per area.
It depends on the condition and how your body responds. Many patients notice improvement within a few visits.
Yes. When used appropriately and by trained providers, shockwave therapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment option.
