When I introduced shockwave therapy to my practice back in January, I knew it had the potential to be transformative for my patients struggling with chronic pain. Six months later, I'm even more convinced this treatment is a game-changer. Here is what I've discovered…


Conditions That Respond Best

While I initially focused on tendonitis and frozen shoulder, I've been amazed at how effectively shockwave therapy treats some of the most stubborn conditions I see in practice. Plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, rotator cuff tendonitis and achilles tendinitis have shown particularly impressive results. These are the injuries that often leave patients feeling frustrated after trying everything else, and shockwave therapy is finally giving them the breakthrough they need.


“ I have found shockwave to be extremely helpful for my chronic tendonitis.  It isn’t painful and works very fast. No soreness afterwards either.  I’ve had chronic and quite severe tendonitis and hip alignment issues for years and this has helped enormously.” - Hugo W


What I've Learned About Treatment Success

The beauty of shockwave therapy isn't just in its immediate effects, it's how it accelerates the entire healing process. Once we jumpstart your body's natural repair mechanisms with shockwave, the ongoing therapeutic exercises, stretches and other therapeutic activities I prescribe become even more effective. You're not masking symptoms; you're building lasting strength and resilience.


“Shockwave has worked so well on every tendonitis for me that I want to try it for my hip!”  - Patty C


What to Expect: Your Treatment Journey

Most patients need 4-6 sessions, though some complex cases may benefit from up to 8 treatments. Here's what's crucial: consistency matters. I recommend scheduling sessions 7 days apart to maximize the cumulative healing benefits. Think of it like compound interest for your recovery, each session builds on the last.


💡 This July, I'm making it easier for you to explore whether shockwave therapy is right for your situation.  Your first session is complimentary with your evaluation.


The timeline typically looks like this:

  • Sessions 1-2: Your body begins responding to the acoustic waves

  • Sessions 3-4: You'll likely notice significant pain reduction

  • Sessions 5-6: We're fine-tuning and solidifying your improvements


Why I Recommend It 

As someone who's dedicated my career to holistic healing, I'm selective about the treatments I offer. Shockwave therapy has earned its place because it aligns perfectly with my philosophy: non-invasive, drug-free, and designed to enhance your body's own healing wisdom.


What is most exciting for me with shockwave is watching patients who've been dealing with chronic pain for months or years finally feel like they are on the other side of their long standing issue. They're returning to activities they love, sleeping better, and moving with confidence again.

If you're dealing with persistent tendon or muscle pain that's been holding you back, let's get after it. This July, I'm offering your first shockwave therapy session free when you book it alongside a standard physical therapy evaluation with any of our therapists.
