Shockwave Therapy

About Preferred Rehabilitation's Shockwave Therapy

Discover the healing potential of Shockwave Therapy at Preferred Rehabilitation. Our experienced Physical Therapy Team utilizes this non-invasive technology to help patients overcome stubborn chronic pain. Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), delivers high-energy acoustic sound waves directly into affected tissues. This targeted application stimulates the body's natural healing processes and accelerates recovery.

Dealing with persistent tendon or muscle pain can drastically alter your lifestyle. At Preferred Rehabilitation, we are highly skilled in diagnosing the root cause of your discomfort and integrating advanced treatments like Shockwave Therapy into your personalized care plan. Our focus is on providing targeted relief so you can regain your mobility without relying on surgical interventions or heavy pain medications.

How Shockwave Therapy Works

This innovative treatment creates micro-trauma in the damaged tissue at a cellular level. The acoustic waves stimulate new blood vessel formation and increase circulation in the targeted area. Improved blood flow brings essential oxygen and nutrients to injured tendons, ligaments, and bones.

The acoustic pulses also break down calcifications and scar tissue that restrict your movement. Your body then naturally absorbs these broken-down particles to restore optimal function and flexibility to the joint or muscle group.

• Plantar fasciitis and heel spurs
