Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy is a noninvasive, drug-free treatment designed to help relieve pain and support your body’s natural healing process. Using targeted acoustic sound waves, this therapy is applied directly to injured or irritated soft tissue to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote faster recovery.

The high-energy sound waves used during shockwave therapy help break down scar tissue and calcium buildup, release tight muscles, and stimulate collagen production. This increased blood flow encourages healing at the source of pain rather than simply masking symptoms.

Shockwave therapy is an effective option for treating both acute injuries and chronic pain conditions. Many patients experience improved mobility, reduced discomfort, and quicker recovery times, allowing them to return to daily activities feeling stronger and more balanced.

Who is Shockwave Therapy for?

Shockwave therapy may be helpful if you are experiencing:

Chronic muscle or joint pain
Tendon or ligament injuries
Plantar fasciitis or heel pain
Shoulder, elbow, hip, or knee discomfort
Soft tissue injuries that haven’t responded to other treatments

Our team takes a holistic approach to care, meaning we look at how your body functions as a whole and tailor treatments to support long-term healing and overall wellness.

What should you expect during treatment?

Shockwave therapy sessions are quick and performed right in our office. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild tapping or pulsing feeling. There is no downtime after treatment, and many patients notice improvement within a few sessions.

At Easley Health & Spine, shockwave therapy is often combined with chiropractic care, rehabilitation exercises, and other wellness services to help you heal fully and feel your best.

FAQs

Most patients describe shockwave therapy as a mild tapping or pulsing sensation. Some areas may feel slightly uncomfortable during treatment, especially if the tissue is very irritated, but sessions are typically well tolerated and brief.
The number of sessions varies depending on your condition and how your body responds to care. Many patients notice improvement within 3–6 sessions. We will create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs and goals. You will likely need on-going sessions for weeks or even months to reach your total goals, but you'll begin seeing results from your very first visit!
Shockwave therapy is commonly used to treat chronic pain, soft tissue injuries, tendon issues, plantar fasciitis, shoulder pain, elbow pain, hip discomfort, and knee pain. It is especially helpful when pain has not improved with rest or other treatments.
No downtime is required. You can return to most daily activities immediately following your appointment. Some patients may experience mild soreness in the treated area, which typically resolves within a day or two. We will provide you with an aftercare plan following your first appointment.
Shockwave Therapy typically is not covered by most insurance providers; however, at our office if we think that this type of treatment would be good for you and if you decide that you want to do it, we have affordable financing options available. Most HSA or FLEX spending accounts CAN be used.
The best way to know if shockwave therapy is right for you is through a personalized consultation. At Easley Health & Spine, we take time to understand your symptoms, health history, and goals for healing. Shockwave therapy is often a great option for patients dealing with chronic pain, soft tissue injuries, or conditions that haven’t fully responded to other treatments. If it’s not the best fit for your body, we’ll guide you toward other care options that better support your healing. Our goal is always to recommend what’s right for you, not a one-size-fits-all solution.

— Tawana T.

“Excellent practice all around! Easy scheduling. Dr Herman and his team have changed my life! I was dealing with neck, shoulder, & upper back pain from sitting such long hours at my job. I’ve been going consistently for about three months and I feel 100% better! I’ve finished my treatment plan but continue to go for maintenance. I can tell a difference if I don’t go for more than a week. Now my husband and teen are going because they can tell how much it’s helped me.”
