Shockwave therapy is a noninvasive treatment that uses sound waves to stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain in injured tissues. The treatment promotes healing by increasing blood flow, stimulating cell regeneration, and breaking down calcifications or scar tissue. It is often used for conditions that have not responded well to other conservative treatments, an evidence based alternative to surgery, injections, and medication. 

Conditions treated by shockwave include:

• Plantar fasciitis – heel pain caused by inflammation of the tissue connecting the heel bone to the toes.
• Tendinitis – inflammation of tendons, particularly in the shoulder (rotator cuff), elbow (tennis or golfer's elbow), and Achilles tendon.
• Calcific tendinitis – calcium deposits within tendons, typically in the shoulder, which can cause significant pain and restricted movement.
• Shin splints – pain along the inner edge of the shinbone caused by inflammation of muscles, tendons, and bone tissue.
• Bursitis – inflammation of the small fluid-filled sacs that cushion bones, tendons, and muscles near joints.
• Chronic back pain – especially when linked to musculoskeletal issues, such as degenerative disc disease or muscle tightness.
• Patellar tendinopathy – commonly known as "jumper's knee," a condition where the patellar tendon in the knee becomes irritated or damaged.
• Hip pain – often caused by conditions like trochanteric bursitis or tendinopathy of the gluteal muscles.
• Frozen shoulder – a condition that causes stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint.
• Myofascial pain syndrome – chronic pain from sensitive trigger points in the muscles, which can refer pain to other areas.
