Shockwave Therapy For Pain Management

If your pain improves during PT and then boomerangs the minute you try to ramp up, you’re not imagining it—chronically irritated tendon/fascia tissue can get stuck in a low-grade, degenerative loop. ESWT uses focused acoustic waves to interrupt that loop and restart a healing response in precisely the spots that keep flaring. Short bursts of targeted mechanical energy signal the tissue to clean up damaged fibers, grow new micro-vessels, and reorganize collagen so the area gets less reactive and more load-tolerant. It’s quick, doesn’t require downtime, and—used correctly—often turns “good days/bad days” into steady progress

What ESWT is—and How it Works

ESWT is a non-invasive treatment that delivers high-energy sound waves through the skin to a defined point in your tendon or fascia. We use a handheld applicator, set the dose to your tolerance, and focus on the exact pain generator we found in the exam

It’s a mechanical nudge with a predictable physiologic cascade—especially effective when you pair it with the right loading plan between sessions

Who It helps?

Plantar fasciitis with classic morning first-step pain.
Mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy (the thick, grumpy section a few centimeters above the heel).
Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee), especially with pain on squats or stairs.
Lateral epicondylalgia (tennis elbow) with gripping/lifting pain.
Gluteal/greater trochanter pain tied to tendon overload and poor hip control.

Testimonials

“Three ESWT sessions and my morning heel pain went from limping to light stiffness—I can stand through my shifts again.”

— Diego F., 42 - Hawaii

“Achilles pain kept flaring after runs. ESWT plus a simple loading plan and I’m back to 5K loops without next-day fire.”

— Sonia L., 37 - Columbus

“Desk work + tennis elbow was killing me. After four ESWT visits, I can grip, lift, and type all day without zingers.”

— Tom K., 50 - San Antonio

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it better than PRP?

Apples vs. oranges. ESWT excels for superficial tendon/fascia issues. PRP can be better for deeper or intra-articular problems. We’ll match the tool to the tissue.

How many sessions will I need?

Most people do 3–6. If we don’t see traction by session 3–4, we reassess rather than dragging it out.Will it fix calcific deposits? ESWT can help fragment certain calcific tendinopathies, but the value depends on size, location, and your symptoms.

Will the pain come back?

If you abandon the loading plan, possibly. If you keep building capacity, results tend to stick.

Ready to stop the flare-and-frustrate cycle?

Book an ESWT evaluation at NexGenEsis Healthcare. We’ll pinpoint the true pain generator, lay out a 3–6 session plan (no endless packages), and pair it with a simple, customized loading roadmap you can actually follow. If ESWT isn’t the right tool for your tissue, we’ll say so and guide you to what is—PRP, Class IV Laser, targeted rehab, or a different path altogether.
