What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), uses acoustic energy waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. These high-energy pulses are delivered directly to the affected area to:

Increase blood flow
Break down scar tissue and calcifications
Reduce inflammation
Accelerate tissue repair and regeneration

Unlike surgery or injections, this treatment is completely non-invasive, drug-free, and requires no downtime.

What Conditions Can Shockwave Therapy Help?

At Back2Life PTW, we most often use shockwave therapy for chronic musculoskeletal issues, including:

Plantar Fasciitis (heel pain)
Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow
Patellar Tendinopathy (Jumper’s Knee)
Calcific Tendinitis of the Shoulder
Achilles Tendinopathy
Hip bursitis and gluteal pain
Shin splints
Chronic trigger points and myofascial pain

Patients who haven’t responded well to rest, medication, or even physical therapy alone often experience major breakthroughs with shockwave therapy.

How Does It Work at Back2Life?

Your shockwave session at Back2Life is safe, fast, and personalized:

Evaluation – We’ll assess your condition and determine whether you’re a good candidate.
Application – Using a handheld device, we deliver targeted pulses to the treatment area. You may feel slight discomfort, but the intensity is always adjusted to your comfort.
Post-Treatment – No downtime! You can go back to your daily activities immediately.

Most patients see results after 3–5 sessions, often spaced one week apart. In some cases, improvement is felt after the first visit.
