Professional Shockwave Therapy to Reduce Pain, Accelerate Healing & Restore Function
Shockwave therapy is an evidence-based treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured or chronically painful tissues. It is especially effective for treating stubborn tendon, muscle, and fascial conditions by increasing blood flow, breaking down scar tissue, and triggering the body’s natural repair processes. At Back in Action, our clinicians provide targeted shockwave therapy treatments designed to reduce pain, restore function, and support long-term recovery.
Whether you’re dealing with chronic tendon pain, lingering soft-tissue injuries, plantar fasciitis, or pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments, shockwave therapy can help jumpstart healing, improve mobility, and get you back to moving with confidence.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is an evidence-based treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured or chronically painful soft tissues. The shockwaves are delivered through a handheld device and travel into the affected area to increase blood flow, break down scar tissue and calcifications, and activate the body’s natural repair processes.
Shockwave therapy is commonly used to treat tendon, muscle, and fascial conditions especially those that are slow to heal or have not responded well to rest or other treatments. By stimulating cellular activity and improving circulation, shockwave therapy helps reduce pain, restore mobility, and improve tissue function.
At Back in Action, shockwave therapy is applied as part of a targeted, evidence-based treatment plan to address the root cause of pain and support long-term recovery.
How Will Shockwave Therapy Help Me?
Address stiffness, muscle imbalances, and poor movement patterns that lead to pain or injury.
Shockwave therapy helps by stimulating your body’s natural healing processes to repair injured tissues and reduce pain. The high-energy waves increase blood flow, break down scar tissue or calcifications, and activate cellular repair in muscles, tendons, and fascia.
Depending on your condition, shockwave therapy can help:
-
Reduce chronic or acute pain
-
Promote faster healing of stubborn injuries
-
Improve mobility and flexibility in affected areas
-
Restore function and support return to activity or sport
-
Reduce inflammation and tension in targeted tissues
At Back in Action, shockwave therapy is personalized to your injury or pain, addressing not just the symptoms but the underlying cause, helping you recover faster, move better, and get back to your normal activities with confidence.
What Should I Expect From a Shockwave Therapy session at Back in Action?
Your shockwave therapy session at Back in Action is focused, evidence-based, and tailored to your specific condition and goals.
Initial Assessment
Your appointment begins with a thorough assessment of your injury, pain history, movement patterns, and functional limitations. Your clinician will identify the affected tissues such as tendons, muscles, or fascia and determine whether shockwave therapy is appropriate for your condition.
Targeted Treatment
Shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves delivered through a handheld device to the injured area. These waves stimulate blood flow, trigger tissue repair, and help break down chronic scar tissue or calcifications. Treatment is targeted and precise, focusing directly on the source of pain or dysfunction.
What You May Feel
During treatment, you may feel a tapping or pulsing sensation and some temporary discomfort, especially over sensitive or chronically injured tissue. Intensity is adjusted to your tolerance, and sessions typically last 5–10 minutes per area.
After Your Session
Following treatment, it’s normal to experience mild soreness or tenderness for 24–48 hours as your body begins the healing response. Many people notice gradual improvement in pain, mobility, and function over the course of several sessions. You may be given activity or rehab guidance to maximize results.
At Back in Action, shockwave therapy is used to stimulate healing at the root of stubborn, chronic conditions helping you recover faster, move better, and return to activity with confidence.
