Shockwave Therapy
Ease Joint & Muscle Pain, Without Drugs or Surgery
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive approach that uses low-energy acoustic wave pulses, applied through a gel medium, to support your body’s natural healing, with no additional medications. Originally developed to break up kidney stones, shockwave therapy has since been studied for a range of wellness applications, and many people report noticeable improvement in their symptoms, even after the first session.
Relief for Joint & Musculoskeletal Pain
Nagging joint pain. A tendon that never fully recovered. That first step in the morning that makes you wince. When everyday aches start limiting what you can do, shockwave therapy offers a non-invasive option to support your body’s natural repair, no downtime, no medication.
By delivering targeted acoustic waves to the affected area, shockwave therapy helps increase blood flow and circulation, which may support your body’s natural healing process and help ease pain in joints, tendons, and soft tissue.
Commonly explored for:
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
- Shoulder pain and rotator cuff concerns
- Knee and hip pain
- Achilles and other tendon concerns
- General muscle soreness and slow-healing injuries
Whether you’re an athlete, a weekend warrior, or simply tired of everyday aches slowing you down, we’ll help you decide whether shockwave therapy fits your goals.
Supporting the Body's Natural Repair
The connection between shockwave therapy and healing continues to be studied. Used for decades as a pain reliever throughout the body, this targeted therapy helps increase blood flow and circulation to painful or scarred areas of tissue. That improved blood flow may support new cell production, a naturally regenerative process.
Beyond supporting more efficient healing of scars, shockwave therapy can have a soothing effect that helps calm nerve pain. Research has also explored its potential to ease muscle spasticity.
The Benefits of Shockwave Therapy for Pelvic Floor Wellness
Relief from the symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction is always top of mind for those living with them. Pain, incontinence, constipation, and intimate concerns can make daily life difficult, and many people feel like they’re out of options after having their pain dismissed again and again.
It may feel like pelvic floor dysfunction is something you just have to live with, and that surgery is your only hope. But there are other options for getting your life back. Alongside traditional therapies, shockwave therapy is now available as a non-surgical option for pelvic floor wellness, and it could be the support you’ve been searching for.
Support for Painful Symptoms
A substantial body of research suggests shockwave therapy may help support the symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction, including reducing bladder leakage in some individuals with stress urinary incontinence. Pain is one of the most common and disruptive issues associated with pelvic floor concerns, often severe enough to interfere with everyday activities like working, exercising, and intimacy, and shockwave therapy may help.
Can Shockwave Therapy Alone Address Pelvic Floor Dysfunction?
There’s no single fix for pelvic floor dysfunction. It’s a common condition, more so among women who’ve been pregnant, and it can stem from many factors, including vehicle accidents, falls, surgery affecting the pelvic area, obesity, and age. Genetics may even play a role.
Pelvic concerns can be complex because they overlap different parts of the body, the bladder, rectum, uterus, or vagina in women, and the prostate in men. Care aims to balance and align the pelvic area and strengthen the pelvic floor. Shockwave therapy has been known to support the healing process, but it’s best used as part of a complete plan, not the only solution, given the complex nature of pelvic floor dysfunction. We’ll build the right combination for you.
Shockwave Therapy for Men's Intimate Wellness
Erectile dysfunction (ED), sometimes called impotence, affects thousands of men, in fact, research suggests more than half of all men experience some form of it. Low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (LiST) is an emerging, non-surgical option focused on supporting natural erectile function, rather than relying on traditional treatments, helping men support natural and spontaneous performance.
How does shockwave therapy for ED work?
It’s an in-office procedure that applies low-intensity pulses to the tissues at the base and shaft of the penis. Typically done over a course of 6 to 12 visits, it’s designed to support circulation and encourage the body’s natural blood flow. By supporting neovascularization (the formation of new blood vessels), shockwave therapy aims to support the natural conditions for a healthy erection.
What to expect at your visit
