Focused Shockwave Therapy
Accelerate healing for chronic tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, bone injuries and joint pain.
What Conditions Can Focused Shockwave Treat?
-
🦶 Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Spurs
Gently clears away stubborn calcification while stimulating fresh collagen production. Soundwaves trigger your body's repair crew to rebuild a strong, supple plantar fascia so you can step out of bed pain-free.
-
🦵 Achilles & Patellar Tendinopathy
Jumpstarts new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis) in poorly vascularized tendons. This floods stagnant tissue with growth factors and nutrients, rapidly rebuilding resilient, load-tolerant fibers for running and jumping.
-
🎾 Tennis & Golfer’s Elbow
Targets stubborn tendon attachments at the elbow (Lateral/Medial Epicondylitis) caused by lifting or repetitive strain. By signaling cellular "workers" to lay down organized, healthy tendon fibers, it restores grip strength without chronic aching.
-
🏋️ Shoulder Tendinitis
Non-invasively breaks up calcium deposits while simultaneously activating stem cells and tissue remodeling. It doesn't just clean out the joint—it actively rebuilds smooth, friction-free rotator cuff mobility.
-
🦴 Bone Stress Injuries & Stress Fractures
Accelerates bone remodeling, increases localized blood flow, and speeds up the return-to-sport timeline for runners recovering from shin splints, bone marrow edema, or stubborn stress reactions.
-
🚴 Gluteal Tendinopathy & Hip Bursitis
Reaches deep into hard-to-access hip tendons to flush out stagnant inflammatory fluid and kickstart active tissue repair, restoring lateral hip strength that stretching alone can't fix.
Focused Shockwave Therapy is fully integrated into your physical therapy session at no extra charge.
Standalone sessions may also be available if indicated.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive solution for treating musculoskeletal pain. It uses acoustic soundwaves to stimulate deep tissue repair, essentially "waking up" your body’s healing mechanism. This process increases blood flow and activates stem cells and growth factors necessary to fix chronic injuries.
What makes "Focused" Shockwave different?
We prioritize your results by using only Focused Shockwave technology. While other clinics may use radial devices that treat only the surface, our Focused Shockwave achieves deeper penetration with pinpoint accuracy. This allows us to treat the root cause of your pain without impacting surrounding healthy tissue.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Active treatment is often described as a deep ache, a pulsing sensation, or mild discomfort, but it should never be agonizing. You are always in complete control. Dr. Hooman communicates with you throughout the process and adjusts the machine's intensity in real-time to match your exact comfort level and tolerance.
-
The actual application of the soundwaves is incredibly fast—typically lasting only 5 to 10 minutes per treatment area. Because your total appointment is a full 60-minute 1-on-1 session, the rest of your time is dedicated to the rehab program.
-
While many athletes experience a noticeable drop in pain and improved mobility after their very first visit, chronic tendon issues take time to remodel. Clinical research recommends a standard protocol of 6 sessions, typically spaced about a week apart, to achieve the best long-term tissue repair.
-
Many patients feel immediate pain relief right after the session. Over the following 24 to 48 hours, it is completely normal to experience mild soreness or a dull ache in the treated area—this means the cellular healing response has been successfully "woken up."
-
Focused Shockwave is highly safe treatment, but it is not for everyone. It is contraindicated over areas with active bone tumors, local infections, or blood clots (DVT), and is not used on patients who are pregnant. Dr. Hooman will conduct a full medical screening during your initial evaluation to ensure this treatment is 100% safe and appropriate for your body.
-
No. Unlike traditional clinics that hit you with add-on fees for "specialty modalities," Focused Shockwave is fully included in your $170 flat-rate session. If Dr. Hooman determines it is the right tool to heal your injury, it is used at zero additional cost to you.
