Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a noninvasive, nonsurgical treatment that helps relieve pain and promote healing for both acute and chronic conditions.

How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?

Shockwave therapy uses targeted acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. These energy pulses increase blood flow, break down scar tissue, and promote cellular repair in damaged areas. By improving circulation and activating tissue regeneration, this treatment helps reduce pain and restore mobility without the need for surgery or medication.

Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

  • Noninvasive treatment with no downtime
  • Drug-free pain relief
  • Promotes faster healing and recovery
  • Improves circulation and tissue repair
  • Effective for chronic and acute conditions

Feedback from Patients

Why Ascent Therapy Clinic is right for you.

I had extreme sharp pain at the front of my left shoulder that made it painful to sleep on or to lift any weight overhead. I did dry needling and BFR but the shockwave felt the most helpful with getting rid of my pain. I noticed a positive improvement after 1 session but after 6 sessions my pain was completely gone and stayed away even with my heavy lifting workouts with my trainer.

I definitely feel like the shockwave treatment stimulated blood flow to the injured area and was way less painful than dry needling. I was sore in the afternoon and evening of the treatment but today I definitely feel an improvement.

Some populations that can benefit from shockwave therapy:

Active athletes (all levels)

Many athletes endure overuse injuries such as tennis elbow, shin splints, jumpers knee, etc. SWT can help provide relief because of it’s nonsurgical approach and its accelerated healing.

Chronic Pain

Patients who have been dealing with their pain for awhile and have tried other methods of pain relief. Shockwave breaks down calcifications and scar tissue to decrease pain.

Post-operative patients

Shockwave promotes VEGF, a signaling protein, it aids in wound healing and increasing elasticity in the tissue. This reduces scar tissue formation and the area where surgery occurred heals faster than if you didn’t use SWT.

Most common injuries SWT treats

  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Sciatica
  • Cervicalgia
  • Carpal Tunnel
