Increase Your Strength and Flexibility With Our Physical Therapy Sessions
Shockwave Therapy Services
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing, reduce pain, and promote tissue regeneration in musculoskeletal conditions.
How It Works
Shockwave therapy works by sending high-energy pulses to the affected area, which stimulates cellular repair, increases blood flow, and promotes collagen cell production. This process can break down scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and enhance tissue regeneration. Mechanistically, it triggers mechanotransduction, leading to cell proliferation , which is particularly beneficial for tendon and bone healing. It also modulates pain pathways, providing relief from chronic discomfort.
Common Applications
Shockwave therapy is used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
• Plantar fasciitis
• Achilles tendinopathy
• Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
• Patellar tendinopathy
• Rotator cuff injuries
• Scar tissue and adhesions
• Chronic soft tissue pain
• Bursitis
• Pelvic pain
At Patterson Physical Therapy, we incorporate Shockwave Therapy into your physical therapy session to speed up the healing process. Research reports that 4 to 6 sessions are needed to meet most goals. A lot of patients notice a difference after one session.

“I’m a 52-year-old retired paramedic firefighter and have had PT for different injuries over the past 30 years, and PT at Patterson Physical Therapy by far is the best therapy I have ever received.
Beth and Niki have made it possible for me to function in my life that I otherwise would never be able to do. The best ever!”
