What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate blood circulation and cellular repair in damaged or inflamed tissue. The waves create microtrauma in the targeted areas, prompting your body to respond by breaking down scar tissue, increasing oxygen delivery, and accelerating recovery.
This technique is adapted at our center to fit your medical history and specific goals, and it's often combined with other therapies to support long-term results.

Conditions We Can Help Treat With Shockwave Therapy
Many patients turn to shockwave therapy after struggling with pain for a long time. It's especially helpful for soft tissue injuries and chronic inflammation that haven't responded to rest or other treatments.
Here are some of the conditions we commonly work with:
Back Pain
Muscle tension, inflammation near the spine, or past injuries can make movement feel stiff and uncomfortable. This therapy helps release tightness and support healing in damaged tissue.
Hip, Knee, and Other Joint Pain
When joints feel sore or restricted—whether from overuse or everyday wear—shockwave can help ease discomfort and improve mobility. It's frequently used for knee pain caused by repetitive strain.
Sports Injury
Great for lingering aches or overuse issues, especially in active patients who want to recover and stay on the move—while improving physical performance along the way.
Frozen Shoulder
If reaching or rotating your arm feels limited or painful, this therapy can help loosen the joint and improve range of motion.
Tendonitis
For irritated tendons that just won't settle down, this treatment increases circulation, calms inflammation, and supports the body's natural healing process of tissue repair. This includes conditions like tennis elbow.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
It may relieve numbness or tingling in the wrist and hand by reducing pressure, boosting blood flow, and supporting the health of nearby blood vessels.
Plantar fasciitis
This therapy is often used to relieve heel pain caused by inflammation in the tissue along the bottom of the foot.

FAQs About Shockwave Therapy
Is shockwave therapy worth it?
For many patients, yes—especially when other treatments haven't provided lasting results. Shockwave therapy offers a non-invasive way to address chronic pain at its source. It's often a part of a broader recovery plan and may help shorten the healing process.
What are the drawbacks of shockwave therapy?
While the procedure is safe and well-tolerated, some patients may experience mild discomfort during treatment or temporary soreness afterward. These effects are usually short-lived. As with any therapy, results can vary depending on the condition and individual response.
Can shockwave therapy cause damage?
When administered by trained professionals, shockwave therapy is considered very safe. The treatment uses controlled sound waves—not heat or electrical currents—and doesn't involve any incisions. There's no damage to healthy tissue, and serious side effects are extremely rare.
How many sessions do I need?
It depends on your condition and how your body responds. Some patients start noticing results after just a few visits, while others benefit from a more extended treatment plan. After an initial evaluation, we'll recommend a schedule tailored to your needs.

Pricing can vary depending on the type of treatment and whether it's combined with other services. For the most accurate information, you can contact Health in Balance directly. Our team will be happy to walk you through the options.
