Shockwave Therapy

Targeted Support for Stubborn Pain

Shockwave therapy is for those “why won’t this just go away?” problems. You know the ones—the nagging issues that stick around no matter what you try. This treatment uses targeted pressure waves to help reduce pain and support healing in irritated soft tissues.

Dr. Craig and Dr. Jay both use shockwave therapy regularly for conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, golf elbow, shoulder pain, calcific tendonitis, and patellar tendonitis. It’s a strong option when you want a conservative plan that focuses on real tissue change, not just masking symptoms.

How Shockwave Therapy Works

Shockwave helps stimulate circulation and encourages the growth of new blood vessels, which supports recovery. It can also break up old scar tissue that limits your range of motion and keeps discomfort coming back. This is especially helpful for chronic issues where stiffness and reduced elasticity won’t let go. By addressing the tissue itself—not just the pain—shockwave supports longer-term improvement instead of short-term relief.

What to Expect During Treatment

The device is applied directly to your skin with a gel so it can glide smoothly across the area. Sessions usually last 5-10 minutes, which makes it easy to fit into your day. Some patients notice improvement after the first visit, though most conditions respond best to a series of 6-10 sessions. Dr. Craig will put together a plan based on your condition and how long it’s been bothering you.
