When pain won't quit, sound waves get to work.
Shockwave Therapy at United Spine Care
Some injuries stall. Old strains, stubborn tendon pain, and built-up scar tissue can linger long after they should have healed. Shockwaves uses targeted acoustic pressure waves to reach deep into that tissue and restart your body's own repair process — A modern approach to healing without medications or invasive procedures.
What Shockwave May Help
- Chronic & Acute pain-Neck, Back, Shoulder, Knee and Hip discomfort
- Tendon & Ligament Injuries- Rotator Cuff Injuries, Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles Tendinitis
- Arthritis and Joint Stiffness- Osteoarthritis and Frozen Shoulder
- Fibromyalgia
- Sport Injuries & Overuse Conditions-Tennis Elbow, Golfer’s Elbow, Shin Splints and Muscle Strains
- Post-Surgical & Injury Rehabilitation-Assisting with healing and reducing excessive scar tissue formation
How It Works
- A smooth applicator glides over the treatment area
- Rhythmic pressure waves travel deep beneath the surface
- Those waves are designed to enhance circulation to deliver oxygen and essential nutrients to injured tissues, supporting the body’s natural healing process.
- Helps reduce pain and inflammation without the use of medication.
- Promotes healthy tissue repair and remodeling, helping minimize scar tissue formation.
- Stimulates the body’s natural healing response by encouraging the regeneration of strong, healthy tissue
What to Expect
Most patients feel a firm tapping sensation — brief and well tolerated. Sessions take just a few minutes per area, and because healing builds gradually, we typically recommend a short series. Your provider will map out a plan around your condition and schedule.
