Focused Shockwave Therapy Services
This FDA-cleared shockwave therapy differs from radial pulse wave therapy in the sense that it provides a more focused kind of treatment for a variety of injuries. Instead of having shockwaves that impact the entire section of the patient’s body, a more focused application can be delivered with minimal loss of energy.
Focused shockwave therapy allows a more precise laser-like energy to reach the deeper structures of the injury. The waves in this treatment option can propagate energy right down to the bone level.
Shockwave Therapy Service Benefits
The benefits of shockwave therapy services are numerous and varied. Not only is it a non-invasive procedure that can help individuals manage pain better, but it also helps speed up the healing process and fight inflammation in the affected area.
Shockwave therapy is an effective natural treatment that uses your own biology and is backed by science and empirical data. It has a proven track record with an 80 percent success rate without the use of harmful medications.
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT)
EPAT is an advanced kind of non-surgical injury treatment that has been approved by the FDA. It works by stimulating the patient’s metabolism and simultaneously enhancing blood circulation while also accelerating the healing process. This treatment method is effective on all manner of conditions, including tennis elbow, tendinitis, and plantar fasciitis.

Radial Shockwave Therapy Services
This kind of treatment provides natural relief from a wide range of conditions, including tennis elbow, tendinitis, low back pain, and plantar fasciitis. For patients looking for an effective means of managing these conditions, radial shockwave therapy is a fantastic choice of treatment that is guaranteed to produce results that have a positive impact on the patient’s well-being.
This treatment involves having shockwaves pass through the patient’s skin to the injured part of the body. These shockwaves cause the body’s tissue to become inflamed, which increases the body’s response to the injury. This helps stimulate the affected area and increases cell generation, which allows the area to heal at a more accelerated rate.
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy Can Alleviate Many Injuries
Chronic Plantar Fasciitis Relief
This condition affects the foot and results in persistent heel pain due to inflammation of the connective tissue. Shock wave therapy stimulates blood flow and accelerates healing at the source of discomfort, offering a non-invasive alternative to traditional pain management options.
Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow Recovery
Elbow injuries from repetitive strain often lead to damaged tendon fibers and significant discomfort. Shockwave therapy promotes natural repair mechanisms for tennis elbow and helps patients regain strength and mobility without the need for orthopedic surgery.
Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy Treatment
Many injuries in the shoulder often involve inflammation in the rotator cuff. Targeted pulses reach deep tissue layers, reduce muscle tension, and aid in tissue regeneration. After a shockwave therapy session, patients can potentially experience improved shoulder function.
Achilles Tendonitis Improvement
This painful condition in the ankle stems from overuse or strain on the Achilles tendon. Shockwave therapy targets the inflamed tissue, helping break up scar tissue and stimulate collagen production, and can contribute to better joint movement and long-term tendon health.
Patellar Tendinopathy (Jumper’s Knee)
Tendon irritation in the knee can cause sharp or lingering pain. Shock waves can help increase blood circulation and reduce chronic inflammation in the affected area.
Myofascial Pain Syndrome Relief
This condition involves tight, painful muscle knots that can restrict motion and cause referred pain. Focused treatment reduces tension, promotes relaxation, and restores muscle elasticity.
Ligament Sprain Recovery
Sprains can be caused by overstretching or tearing ligament fibers, which leads to inflammation and instability. Shockwave pulses enhance cellular repair and minimize downtime, which is highly beneficial for those recovering from injuries to the knee or ankle.
Nerve Entrapment
Compressed nerves can lead to numbness, tingling, and persistent pain in targeted areas. By improving circulation, reducing inflammation and producing growth factors, specifically for nerve tissue, shockwave therapy accelerates nerve regeneration.
