Extracorporeal Focused Shockwave & Radial Shockwave (ESWT)

Welcoming Hope and Healing with Extracorporeal Focused Shockwave & Radial Shockwave

Extracorporeal Focused Shockwave and Radial Shockwave Therapy are non-surgical techniques developed for the treatment of localized musculoskeletal pain. In our office, we use both focused and radial shockwaves which involve the application of a series of high-energy impulses to an affected area. The shock wave is a physical shock, not an electric one, that is used to initiate the body's natural healing process by creating a localized inflammatory response. The body responds by increasing the metabolic activity around the site of treatment, therefore stimulating and accelerating the healing process. Both therapies can also help break down scar tissue and calcified areas as well.

With our dedicated team by your side, feel immediate improvements commencing from just the first few sessions. Our treatment approach translates into substantial long-term benefits, guiding you towards effortlessly achieving your individual health goals. Experience the convenience and affordability of rapid, effective pain relief, saving both time and potential medical costs. Reach out to us and book your appointment today.

Conditions Managed & Treatment Process

Extracorporeal Focused Shockwave and Radial Shockwave Therapy is a non-surgical technique developed for the treatment of localized musculoskeletal pain. Common conditions that can be successfully treated with RSWT are:


  • Heel Pain (Plantar Fasciitis and/or Heel spurs)
  • Patellar Tendonitis/tendonosis (Jumper’s knee)
  • Achilles tendon pain (Achilles Tendonitis/tendonosis)
  • Tennis and Golfer’s elbow
  • Rotator Cuff tendonitis including calcifying tendonitis
  • Shin pain / tibial stress syndrome
  • Chronic neck, shoulder and back pain
  • Muscular trigger points
  • Very tight fascia and muscles
  • Connective Tissue Pain and Degeneration

After a thorough patient history, detailed assessment, your practitioner will determine if shockwave therapy is for you. If you are a candidate for shockwave therapy, the primary area of pain is localized. Our comprehensive treatment program includes several important steps-

Dr. Nick starts by conducting a thorough patient history and a detailed assessment. Utilizing a musculoskeletal ultrasound, he determines if shock wave therapy is the best choice for the patient. If the patient is a suitable candidate for this therapy, the primary area of pain is identified. A skin gel is then applied to this area to help facilitate the precise transmission of the shockwaves into the body. Along with treating the localized area of pain, Dr. Nick also considers a comprehensive approach to patient care, ensuring that dysfunctional movement patterns are rectified, therefore preventing any recurrence of symptoms.

Patients are then scheduled for an initial therapy course that consists of four (4) to six (6) treatments. Out of these, three treatments are specifically for shock wave therapy, which is often combined with laser therapy in practice. An active rehabilitation session is also scheduled. During this session, exercises are implemented, designed to strengthen and boost endurance in the affected areas while also enhancing overall mobility. If necessary, a few additional manual therapy sessions may be incorporated to address any other dysfunctional tissues that might be contributing to the pain or have developed in response to the patient's symptoms.

Our Specialized Techniques

Extracorporeal Focused Shockwave and Radial Shockwave (ESWT) at our clinic deploys targeted treatments to address musculoskeletal conditions through non-invasive techniques. Key treatments include:


  • Focused Shockwave Therapy: Uses high-energy acoustic waves to penetrate deep tissue, effectively treating conditions like plantar fasciitis and deep muscle injuries.
  • Radial Shockwave Therapy: Disperses energy over a wider area, ideal for surface-level conditions such as muscle tension and chronic pain.
  • Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT): Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) is non-invasive and can target deep tissue layers, making it particularly effective for musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries, and chronic pain management.
  • Acute injury management with the help of photobiomodulation (laser), Deep Oscillation and Frequency Specific Microcurrent

Shockwave Therapy stimulates healing, reduces inflammation, and alleviates pain through acoustic waves, offering a versatile, effective treatment for musculoskeletal issues.
