Shockwave Therapy
At Campbell Physical Therapy and Wellness, we’re always looking for the most effective, research-supported treatments to help you recover faster and live without limits. Shockwave Therapy is one of those breakthrough tools – a non-invasive, drug-free solution designed to stimulate healing, restore mobility, and reduce discomfort caused by stubborn soft-tissue or tendon injuries. Whether you’ve been sidelined by plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, or long-term muscle tension, Shockwave Therapy helps reactivate your body’s natural repair process – so you can get back to the activities you love with less downtime and longer-lasting results
What Is Shockwave Therapy ?
Shockwave Therapy (also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy, or ESWT) uses focused acoustic waves to deliver gentle pulses into injured or painful tissue. These waves increase blood flow, stimulate cell regeneration, and help “reset” the healing process in areas that may have stopped responding to traditional care.
Originally developed for treating kidney stones, this technology has since become one of the most trusted non-surgical treatments for chronic musculoskeletal conditions – from sports injuries to overuse syndromes.
Each session lasts only a few minutes, but the physiological effects continue for days, helping the body rebuild stronger, healthier tissue.
How Does It Work?
The therapist applies a handheld Shockwave device directly to the targeted area. Short bursts of sound waves penetrate deep into the tissue, breaking down adhesions and micro-calcifications that restrict movement and cause pain.
These micro-impacts trigger a cascade of healing responses, including:
- Enhanced blood circulation to nourish damaged tissue
- Collagen production for stronger tendons and ligaments
- Reduced inflammation and swelling
- Accelerated removal of pain-causing metabolites
As the tissue regenerates, mobility improves, discomfort fades, and strength returns – often within just a few sessions.
