Shockwave Therapy in Austin

Targeted sound waves for deep, effective healing and pain relief

 
 

What is Shockwave Therapy?

Despite the sound of the name, Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. Originally developed to break up kidney stones, this technology is now widely used in holistic and medical fields to support tissue regeneration, reduce pain, and restore mobility. You will find them most commonly used by urologists, orthopedic clinics, and chiropractors.

How It Works

Using a handheld device, focused sound waves are delivered to specific areas of the body. These high-energy pulses:

  • Increase blood flow and circulation

  • Break up calcifications and scar tissue

  • Stimulate collagen production

  • Activate cellular repair and regeneration

Unlike massage or manual therapies, shockwave reaches deep tissues that are often difficult to access, making it especially helpful for chronic pain and injuries.

Sessions are short, usually 20–30 minutes, and feel noticeably impactful, without harsh pressure, like rhythmic tapping or pulsing pressure. Most clients feel a difference within a few sessions.

What It's Good For

Shockwave therapy is well-researched and trusted by athletes, physical therapists, and chiropractors, globally. It treats:

  • Sciatica and nerve-related pain

  • Frozen shoulder

  • Chronic neck, shoulder & back tension

  • Plantar fasciitis & heel pain

  • Tennis elbow / golfer’s elbow

  • Hip pain / tight glutes / piriformis syndrome

  • Knee pain / jumper’s knee

  • Achilles or heel stiffness

  • Carpal tunnel & wrist tension

  • Myofascial pain syndrome & trigger points

  • Scar tissue restriction / post-surgical healing

  • Shin splints & lower leg tightness

  • Cellulite & lymphatic sluggishness

  • Pelvic floor tension (non-invasive external support)

Contraindications

Shockwave therapy is safe for most people, but it’s not recommended if you:

  • Are pregnant

  • Have a pacemaker or other electronic implants

  • Have a bleeding disorder or take blood-thinning medications

  • Are actively fighting cancer in the treatment area

  • Have neuropathy with reduced sensation (diabetic foot, etc.)
