For people in Honolulu, nagging tendon pain—Achilles, elbows, and shoulders—is common when you’re active year-round. Shockwave therapy (extracorporeal shock wave therapy, ESWT) at NexGenEsis Healthcare Honolulu is a non-invasive treatment aimed at stubborn tendon and ligament problems.
How Shockwave Therapy Works?
Focused acoustic waves are delivered to the painful area to:
- Stimulate local blood flow
- Disrupt chronic pain signaling
- Encourage tissue repair in long-standing injuries
Treatments are performed in the clinic, with little to no downtime afterward.
Conditions We Often Treat in Honolulu
Shockwave is commonly used for:
- Plantar fasciitis and chronic heel pain
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
- Certain shoulder tendinopathies
It’s usually recommended after simpler measures (rest, NSAIDs, basic PT, bracing) have failed to provide enough relief.
What to Expect From Shockwave
- Session length: Around 15–30 minutes per area
- Course of care: Typically a series of sessions over several weeks
- Aftercare: Temporary soreness or redness is possible; we’ll give you clear post-care instructions
We integrate shockwave into a broader plan that addresses strength, mobility, and load—not as a stand-alone “button to push.
If chronic tendon pain is interfering with your work, surfing, or outdoor life, call NexGenEsis Healthcare Honolulu to ask whether shockwave therapy could be part of your recovery plan
