Is Shockwave Therapy Right for You?
Focused shockwave therapy is an excellent option for individuals suffering from joint or soft tissue pain, chronic tendinitis, or stress fractures. It’s especially beneficial for patients seeking non-invasive alternatives to surgery or those with injuries that have been slow to heal. If you’re dealing with persistent pain or a stubborn injury, our expert team at The Denq Clinic can evaluate whether shockwave therapy is the right choice to get you back to health.
Upon determining that you are a candidate for focused shockwave therapy, the site of pain with will be treated for several minutes. Expect a “sensation” that can be felt deeper than skin level during treatment, but the pain that you are experiencing will often be diminished or relieved by the end of treatment. You may have low grade achiness following the treatment that may last for several days that indicates the initiation of tissue repair. Focused shockwave often requires a few repeat weekly sessions to ensure that the area recovers. Each subsequent session often results in longer lasting relief. See below for more information about focused shockwave. If interested, please book an initial consultation with us or ask your provider to refer you.
Focused shockwave therapy is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that uses electromagnetic energy turned acoustic to stimulate tissue repair and reduce pain. Unlike traditional radial shockwave therapy, which relies on surface-level pressure waves, focused shockwave therapy penetrates deeper into joints, tendons, and other hard-to-reach structures. This makes it an excellent option for treating chronic joint pain, tendinitis, and even promoting the healing of non-union fractures and stress fractures.
One of the biggest advantages of focused shockwave therapy is that it does not bruise the skin or cause significant discomfort, ensuring a smooth recovery. The energy precisely targets injured tissues without damaging the surrounding area, allowing for faster healing with minimal downtime. In addition to treating joints and soft tissue injuries, it can be used to stimulate bone healing in patients with fractures that have been slow to heal.
At The Denq Clinic, we often combine focused shockwave therapy with regenerative treatments like PRP to maximize healing potential. The two therapies work synergistically—PRP delivers growth factors to jumpstart tissue repair, while shockwave therapy enhances blood flow and cellular activity to sustain healing over time. This non-invasive, advanced approach allows us to offer patients faster recovery and improved outcomes, all without the need for surgery.
Important Information: Focused shockwave therapy, when combined with ultrasound guidance, offers enhanced precision and efficacy. This FDA-cleared treatment is effective for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. While it is generally well-tolerated, not all patients are candidates. A thorough consultation will determine if shockwave therapy is appropriate for your specific needs
