Other Services

What Is Shock Wave Therapy?

Shock wave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy, delivers targeted sound waves to areas of damaged tissue. These waves help increase blood flow, break up scar tissue, and promote tissue regeneration—providing long-lasting relief and improved function.

Conditions We Treat

When patients experience stubborn chronic tendon conditions and symptoms in their foot and ankle that have not responded to traditional treatments, shock wave therapy can be an effective alternative. This innovative therapy can be used to treat the following conditions:

  • Achilles tendinopathy
  • Insertional Achilles pain
  • Peroneal tendonitis
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction
  • Other chronic tendon disorders

Benefits of shock wave therapy include:

  • Noninvasive, drug-free treatment
  • Minimal downtime
  • In-office treatment
  • Stimulates long-term healing
  • Improves mobility and reduces pain

What to Expect

Treatment typically involves a series of quick, in-office sessions lasting about 15 to 20 minutes. Most patients experience gradual improvement over several weeks, with many reporting reduced pain and improved function after just a few treatments.

Is Shock Wave Therapy Right for You?

If you’ve been dealing with persistent tendon pain in your foot or ankle, shock wave therapy may be an effective next step. Our orthopaedic specialists at Desert Orthopaedic Center will perform a thorough evaluation to determine if this treatment is right for your needs.
