Lake Mary Shockwave Therapy
Non-Surgical Treatment for Chronic Tendon and Soft Tissue Pain
Shockwave therapy is an advanced, non-invasive treatment used to support healing in chronic musculoskeletal conditions. At Lake Mary Chiropractic Center, we offer focused shockwave therapy to help patients with persistent tendon and soft tissue pain improve function and mobility without surgery or medication.
This therapy is commonly used when symptoms have not responded well to traditional conservative care.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. These sound waves are applied directly to injured or irritated tissues to help increase circulation, promote tissue regeneration, and reduce pain sensitivity.
Focused shockwave therapy allows precise targeting of deeper tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and muscle attachments.
Conditions That May Benefit From Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is commonly used for chronic tendon and soft tissue conditions, including:
-
Plantar fasciitis
-
Achilles tendinopathy
-
Shoulder tendinitis and partial tendon tears
-
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
-
Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)
-
Chronic knee or foot pain related to soft tissue dysfunction
A clinical evaluation is required to determine whether shockwave therapy is appropriate for your condition.
How Shockwave Therapy Works
During a shockwave therapy session:
-
High-energy acoustic waves are applied to the affected area
-
Treatment is focused on areas of chronic irritation or poor healing
-
Sessions typically last 15–20 minutes
-
Most patients require a series of treatments based on their condition
Shockwave therapy is non-surgical and does not require anesthesia or downtime, though mild discomfort during or after treatment may occur.

Important Considerations
Shockwave therapy is generally well tolerated, but it may not be appropriate for everyone. Certain medical conditions, including pregnancy, bleeding disorders, active infection, cancer in the treatment area, or implanted medical devices, may limit eligibility.
Shockwave therapy is typically not covered by insurance. Our team will review candidacy and discuss treatment options during your consultation.
