WAVES Regenerative Therapy
We’re excited to offer shockwave therapy as part of our commitment to providing the best care possible for our patients. Many of you have been dealing with chronic pain in your shoulders, knees, ankles, or elbows, and we understand how frustrating that can be. That’s why we chose to offer shockwave therapy—it’s a highly effective, non-invasive treatment that accelerates healing and reduces pain. Using targeted sound waves, this technology stimulates blood flow and promotes tissue regeneration, helping to break down scar tissue and improve mobility. Patients often start to feel noticeable relief after just a few sessions, making it a great option for those suffering from long-standing pain. Shockwave is especially beneficial for stubborn conditions like tendonitis, restrictive pain and ligament injuries, helping you get back to doing the things you love without the downtime or risks associated with surgery.
What is Waves Regenerative Therapy?
Waves Regenerative Therapy is a medical device that utilizes harmless, yet powerful acoustic waves to activate the body’s natural healing mechanisms. This non-invasive treatment option was designed to help patients dealing with musculoskeletal conditions related to pain and inflammation.
How Waves Regenerative Therapy Works
When these waves penetrate damaged tissue or areas of inflammation, it activates a natural response within the body as if a new injury has occurred. This immediately kickstarts the biological healing process by sending healing agents to help reduce inflammation and repair damaged tissue in the injured area. Ultimately, the goal of this treatment is to “awaken” dormant cells that are critical for healing – without the need for invasive procedures or medication.
Treatment Benefits

- Upper Extremities (Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist)
- Lower Extremities (Knee, Ankle, Foot)
- Soft Tissue Injuries (Muscles, Tendons, etc.)
What to Expect During Treatment
The First Visit (Consultation & Treatment)
Our doctor will conduct an interactive consultation to discuss more about Waves
Regenerative Therapy, your goals, and expectations regarding your specific case. At the start of the treatment, we utilize the device as a diagnostic tool over the injured area to identify the primary location(s) of pain and tissue damage. Once located, we focus the remainder of treatment towards that area to ensure we maximize the positive biological effects. The treatment itself can be conducted in less than 10 minutes.
Subsequent Treatments (Care Plans)
Although some patients feel immediate improvement after their first visit, this is not a “one and done” treatment solution. Subsequent treatments are required to further the process of healing and to achieve lasting results. Based on your specific goals & expectations provided, our doctor will put together a recommended care plan that best suits your needs.
Care plans commonly range between 8-24 sessions depending on the length and severity of the condition as well as the patient’s goals. Patients typically experience significant progress after 3-4 treatments, however, we often see a noticeable improvement after the first treatment. Subsequent treatments that follow will offer continual improvement and sustained results.
Does Treatment Hurt?
When we are trying to identify damaged tissue or inflammation, we will move the treatment source around the injured area. When the waves from the treatment source penetrate healthy tissue, you won’t feel much of anything. However, when the waves hit damaged tissue, you will experience manageable pain or discomfort – but not of
intensity that requires numbing cream or anesthetic.
