What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a safe, non‒invasive treatment that uses focused acoustic waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing response. These waves increase blood flow, break down scar tissue, and activate growth factors that are essential for tissue repair and regeneration. This therapy is especially effective for stubborn musculoskeletal conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, shoulder pain, and knee pain. It can also support recovery from chronic joint pain or soft tissue injuries that haven’t improved with other conservative treatments. At Midtown East Chiro, each session is tailored to your needs and comfort level. Our goal is to not only reduce pain but also restore mobility and function so you can get back to your everyday activities without relying on surgery or long‒term medication.

Conditions Shockwave Therapy Can Help Treat

At Midtown East Chiro, we use shockwave therapy to help patients manage pain, restore mobility, and encourage natural healing. This therapy is especially effective for chronic or hard-to-treat conditions that haven’t improved with rest or other conservative treatments.
Plantar Fasciitis
Shockwave therapy for plantar fasciitis is one of the most common applications of this treatment. It helps reduce heel pain by stimulating blood flow, breaking down scar tissue, and encouraging the repair of the plantar fascia. Patients often experience improved mobility and lasting relief.
Knee Pain
Shockwave therapy for knee pain can be effective for conditions such as tendonitis, cartilage irritation, or early osteoarthritis. The treatment improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and supports joint function—helping patients return to walking, exercise, and daily activities with less discomfort.
Tennis Elbow
Repetitive motion injuries like tennis or golfer’s elbow often cause inflammation and microtears in the tendon. With focused acoustic waves, this treatment stimulates tissue repair, reduces discomfort, and restores strength in the forearm—helping you return to daily activities with greater ease.
Shoulder Pain
Issues such as calcific tendonitis, rotator cuff strains, or chronic shoulder inflammation can be difficult to resolve with rest alone. Shockwave therapy breaks down calcium deposits, promotes tissue healing, and helps restore pain-free shoulder movement.
Chronic Joint Pain
For patients dealing with ongoing joint discomfort, shockwave therapy provides a non-invasive way to reduce stiffness, stimulate healing, and support long-term function—without relying on medication or injections.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Whether from sports or overuse, soft tissue injuries often lead to scar tissue and restricted mobility. Shockwave therapy breaks down adhesions, enhances oxygen delivery, and accelerates recovery for muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
