Shockwave Therapy at a Glance
How does shockwave therapy work?
Shockwave therapy sends harmless acoustic waves into the body to increase blood flow, stimulate new tissue, and break down scar tissue, reaching injuries deep in the soft tissue.
By supporting your body's natural healing, it can relieve pain that other treatments miss, without surgery or downtime.

What does shockwave therapy cost?
Shockwave is priced per course of care, and the main factors are how many sessions your injury needs and how large the treatment area is. Chronic, long-standing injuries generally take more sessions than recent ones.
Many insurance plans still classify shockwave (extracorporeal shockwave therapy) as an elective treatment, so coverage varies. Our front desk will help you verify your benefits, and your exam will give you a clear session count and plan before you commit to anything.
Side effects and downsides, honestly
Shockwave has an excellent safety profile: it's non-invasive, drug-free, and requires no downtime. The most common side effects are mild and short-lived: temporary soreness, redness, or tingling in the treated area that typically fades within a day.
It isn't for everyone. We recommend a different approach if you:
- Are pregnant
- Take blood thinners or have a bleeding disorder
- Have an active infection or open wound at the treatment site
- Would need treatment directly over a growth plate, pacemaker, or certain implants
