The use of shockwave therapy has emerged as a new and innovative way to treat chronic conditions affecting the tendons, especially those related to musculoskeletal conditions.

A variety of conditions can be treated with shockwave therapy, including plantar fasciitis, bursitis, tennis elbow, tendonitis, and Morton’s neuroma.

Handheld devices pulse acoustic waves through soft tissue during shockwave therapy. Cellular permeability improves, increasing nutrients’ ability to enter cells while improving circulation and stimulating collagen and elastin production. Most patients report an immediate reduction in pain and a gradual improvement in mobility after receiving shockwave therapy.
