What is shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical, noninvasive, FDA-approved treatment that uses high energy shockwaves to reduce musculoskeletal pain. Shockwave therapy is recommended but not limited to people with the following conditions: Plantar Fasciitis, Tendinitis, Neuroma, and Heel Pain.
What are the benefits of shockwave therapy?
Researchers have shown that the success rate of using shockwaves is between 70-85% without the risk of surgery. To help get rid of the pain, the shockwave stimulates and accelerates the healing process by:

• Releasing local growth factors
• Recruiting stem cells
• Tissue regeneration
• New blood vessel formation
• Stimulation of collagen growth
• Stimulation of blood flow to the injured site
• Disruption of scar tissue

What can I expect during my shockwave therapy session?
The Zimmer shockwave machine has a small probe resembling an ultrasound wand that delivers shockwaves to the treatment site. While side effects are rare, you may feel warmth, tingling, or slight numbness following your treatment. These side effects resolve within two to three days. It is recommended to receive at least one treatment every three for a total of six weeks. The treatment takes only fifteen minutes, and there is no downtime. The only recommendation is to slightly reduce physical activity to give your treatment site time to heal.
Why choose shockwave therapy?
The success rate for Shockwave therapy is between 70-85% which is equal to or greater than traditional methods including surgery without risks, complications, and lengthy recovery time associated with surgery.
