At the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Center of Brooklyn, we are proud to offer Shockwave Therapy—an advanced, non-invasive treatment designed to accelerate healing, reduce pain, and restore function for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. Shockwave Therapy is an effective option for patients seeking relief from chronic pain and injuries without the need for surgery or long-term medication use.

What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a cutting-edge treatment that uses acoustic waves to promote tissue healing and regeneration. These high-energy sound waves are delivered to the affected area to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, improve blood circulation, break down scar tissue, and reduce pain.

Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy offers several benefits, including:

• Non-invasive and safe: No surgery, incisions, or injections are required.
• Minimal downtime: Patients can return to their normal activities soon after treatment.
• Quick pain relief: Many patients experience significant pain reduction after just a few sessions.
• Stimulates healing: Encourages tissue regeneration and repair by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation.
• Reduces reliance on medications: A natural alternative to pain relief without long-term medication use.

Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy is highly effective for treating a range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

• Plantar Fasciitis: Reduces pain and inflammation caused by plantar fascia inflammation.
• Tendonitis: Treats chronic tendonitis conditions, such as Achilles tendonitis, patellar tendonitis (jumper's knee), and tennis elbow.
• Calcific Shoulder Tendinitis: Breaks down calcium deposits in the shoulder tendons, alleviating pain and improving shoulder mobility.
• Myofascial Pain Syndrome: Relieves pain and tension caused by trigger points and muscle knots.
• Shin Splints: Helps reduce pain and inflammation in the lower leg muscles.
• Stress Fractures: Promotes bone healing and pain relief in stress fractures.
• Hip Bursitis: Reduces inflammation and pain in the hip joint caused by bursitis.
• Chronic Pain Conditions: Effective for other chronic pain conditions related to soft tissue and bone.

What to Expect During a Shockwave Therapy Session

1. Initial Consultation: Your therapist will perform a thorough evaluation to determine if Shockwave Therapy is appropriate for your condition. We will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals.
2. Treatment Plan: A customized treatment plan is developed based on your specific needs and condition. Most treatment plans consist of 3 to 5 sessions, spaced about one week apart.
3. Shockwave Therapy Procedure: During the procedure, a handheld device is applied to the targeted area. The device emits controlled shockwaves that penetrate deep into the tissues, stimulating healing and reducing pain. Each session typically lasts 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
4. Post-Treatment Care: Patients may experience mild discomfort or redness at the treatment site, which usually resolves within a few hours. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately following treatment.
