Shockwave Therapy

End Chronic Pain and Accelerate Healing with Shockwave Therapy

Are you tired of persistent pain that limits your life? Have you tried countless treatments for a nagging injury with little to no Relief? It’s frustrating when pain holds you back from your daily activities, sports, and hobbies. We believe you deserve a solution that doesn’t just mask the symptoms but targets the root cause of your pain. We offer a powerful, non-surgical treatment that stimulates your body’s natural healing abilities: shockwave therapy. This innovative technology is changing the way we approach chronic pain and stubborn soft tissue injuries, offering hope and real results where other methods have failed.

Our clinic offers this advanced modality to help you return to a pain-free life more quickly. We understand your goal is to return to your best self, and we have the tools and expertise to guide you there.

How Does This Revolutionary Treatment Work?

What is shockwave therapy actually? The process is quite simple yet profoundly effective. We use a specialized device to deliver high-energy acoustic sound waves to the injured or painful area of your body. These are not electrical shocks; they are powerful, short-duration sound pulses that penetrate deep into your tissues.

Think of it as a way to “wake up” dormant or stagnant cells. These acoustic waves create micro-trauma in the targeted tissue, which triggers a cascade of your body’s natural healing responses. This process accomplishes several key things:

• Stimulates New Blood Flow (Neovascularization): The waves encourage the formation of new blood vessels, which is critical for healing. Improved circulation brings more oxygen and nutrients to the injured area, accelerating repair.
• Breaks Down Scar Tissue and Calcification: Over time, injuries can lead to the buildup of fibrotic scar tissue or painful calcium deposits. Shockwave therapy effectively breaks down these adhesions, restoring flexibility and reducing pain.
• Reduces Chronic Inflammation: While acute inflammation is a regular part of healing, chronic inflammation can cause persistent pain and tissue damage. The therapy helps modulate the inflammatory response, turning it into a productive healing process.
• Releases Trigger Points: It can directly target and release the tight knots in muscles (trigger points) that cause widespread and referred pain, providing immediate Relief and improved range of motion.

Conditions We Successfully Treat

This versatile treatment is highly effective for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, particularly those involving tendons, ligaments, and fascia that have become chronic in nature. If you suffer from any of the following, shockwave therapy could be the breakthrough you’ve been searching for:

• Plantar Fasciitis: Experience debilitating heel pain with your first steps in the morning? We use shockwave therapy to target the inflamed plantar fascia, breaking down scar tissue and promoting regeneration for lasting Relief.
• Tennis Elbow & Golfer’s Elbow (Lateral & Medial Epicondylitis): This therapy is a game-changer for persistent elbow pain. By stimulating blood flow and collagen production in the affected tendons, shockwave therapy helps repair the damage from overuse.
• Achilles Tendinopathy: For chronic pain and stiffness in the Achilles tendon, this treatment can restart the stalled healing process, strengthening the tendon and restoring function.
• Jumper’s Knee (Patellar Tendinopathy): We apply the acoustic waves to the patellar tendon just below the kneecap to reduce pain and inflammation, allowing athletes and active individuals to return to their sport.
• Calcific Tendinitis: This is a fantastic non-surgical option for breaking down painful calcium deposits in tendons, most commonly found in the shoulder’s rotator cuff.
• Chronic Hamstring Pain & Tendinopathy: For deep, persistent hamstring pain that hasn’t responded to stretching or other therapies, this treatment can reach the deep tendon attachments to stimulate repair.
• Myofascial Pain Syndrome: By targeting and deactivating trigger points, we can alleviate the chronic, deep muscular pain associated with this condition.

What to Expect During Your Session at Vitality Spine and Rehab

We design your treatment journey to be clear, comfortable, and practical. When you come to us for care, we begin with a comprehensive assessment to determine if shockwave therapy is the most appropriate and effective treatment for your specific condition.

Once we confirm you are a good candidate, the session itself is straightforward and quick, typically lasting only 10-15 minutes. We will apply a water-based gel to your skin over the treatment area, which helps transmit the sound waves efficiently. Then, we place the applicator head of the device on your skin and begin the treatment. You will hear a repetitive clicking sound and feel a tapping or intense pulsing sensation. Some patients experience mild discomfort during the procedure. Still, we will communicate with you constantly and can adjust the intensity to ensure it remains tolerable. There is no need for anesthesia, and you can return to your day immediately afterward. Take it easy for a day or two. Still, most people experience a noticeable reduction in pain after just a few sessions.
