Shoulder pain & rotator cuff injuries
Soft-tissue concerns that can make reaching and lifting difficult.
Piezowave² focused shockwave therapy
Find the source. Focus your care.
Pain in your shoulder, elbow, knee, heel, or back does not always tell the whole story. Focused shockwave gives our doctors another way to identify tissue that may be contributing to your pain and target care to help you return to the activities you have been missing.
Understanding focused shockwave
Targeted treatment starts with understanding your pain.
Piezowave² focused shockwave uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate biological activity in damaged or dysfunctional soft tissues. When the source of pain is unclear, treating only the general area may provide temporary relief. During treatment, the pulses produce a response in tendons, ligaments, muscles, and other soft tissues. Your feedback can help our doctors identify particularly irritated or dysfunctional areas and more precisely target tissue that may be contributing to your symptoms. The goal is to identify the area, focus treatment, and stimulate the body’s repair response. Your response to treatment is one part of the information your doctor uses to guide your care.
When pain keeps returning
Still wondering why it isn’t getting better?
You may have rested, stretched, tried exercises, massage, medication, injections, adjustments, or other treatments. Perhaps the pain eased for a while, then returned when you resumed your normal activities. That can be frustrating, whether the problem has lasted a few weeks or several years. Focused shockwave combines targeted treatment with a stimulus designed to support the body’s natural repair processes. Our goal is to understand what may be keeping you from recovering and identify an appropriate next step.
Get back to what you have been missing
What would you like to do again?
Pain can change your life little by little. You stop reaching overhead, avoid workouts, play less with your children, skip the hike, or hesitate before picking something up. You may begin avoiding activities because you expect discomfort afterward. Your goals matter to us. Care is aimed at helping you return to the life pain has interrupted, with treatment focused on the tissues that may be holding you back.
