Shockwave Therapy is one of several advanced tools we use within your comprehensive physical therapy program. This non-invasive treatment uses sound waves to stimulate healing in soft tissues, helping reduce pain, improve mobility, and accelerate recovery.

We offer this service as a stand-alone treatment or may recommend it as part of an integrated and customized care plan. Our recommendation will always be designed to address the root of your problem and support long-term results.

 

How Does Our Advanced Pulse Wave™ Technology Work?

At Peak Sports and Spine Physical Therapy we utilize cutting-edge Pulse Wave™ Technology. This innovative approach delivers focused, powerful acoustic waves to damaged tissues and areas of inflammation. This is beneficial for more challenging injuries, deep tissue issues, or when a more focused approach is desired. Triggering a cascade of beneficial responses:

  • Pain Reduction: Ease chronic pain quickly and effectively.
  • Mobility Enhancement: Improve mobility as inflammation decreases and muscles relax.
  • Accelerated Healing: Boosts blood flow and cellular activity, speeding up the recovery from soft tissue injuries.

This activation jumpstarts the biological healing process, sending your body’s own healing agents to the exact areas that need it most.

 

Conditions That Can Be Addressed

One of the particularly attractive benefits of shockwave therapy is it’s highly versatile and effective for a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Foot Pain
  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Shoulder Tightness
  • Rotator Cuff Issues
  • Knee Pain
  • ITB Syndrome
  • Tennis Elbow & Golfer’s Elbow
  • Hip Pain
  • Patellofemoral Syndrome
  • Shin Splints
  • Scar Tissue
  • Limited Range of Motion

 

A Holistic Approach to Healing

While shockwave therapy is quite effective alone, it’s even more so when combined with other treatments. Combining it with physical therapy aligns the spine, improves nerve function, creating an optimal environment for healing and complements shockwave therapy by strengthening muscles and improving functional movement, while laser therapy reduces inflammation and enhances cellular repair. This approach makes sure every part of your recovery is covered so you can achieve complete and lasting results.
