Shockwave therapy is increasingly used in physical medicine to treat stubborn pain and injuries. It’s a safe and effective treatment for a wide range of conditions that affect muscles, tendons, and joints.
At Medical Acupuncture Group in Oviedo, FL, we commonly use shockwave therapy to address:
1. Plantar Fasciitis – One of the most researched applications, shockwave therapy reduces heel pain by stimulating healing in the plantar fascia.
2. Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow – Shockwave therapy can improve elbow mobility and decrease inflammation in the tendons.
3. Rotator Cuff Injuries – Acoustic waves break up scar tissue and improve shoulder function.
4. Achilles Tendinopathy – This overuse injury responds well to the increased blood flow promoted by shockwave therapy.
5. Patellar Tendinitis (Jumper’s Knee) – Often seen in athletes, shockwave therapy enhances collagen production to support tendon recovery.
This therapy is ideal for patients who want to avoid surgery or medications. Medical Acupuncture Group offers customized treatment plans using shockwave therapy to restore comfort and mobility.
