Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. It’s commonly used for stubborn, slow-to-heal injuries—especially those involving tendons, fascia, or chronic inflammation.

At Recharge, we use shockwave as one part of a comprehensive treatment plan—not as a quick fix, but as a targeted tool to help your body recover when progress has plateaued or pain just won’t go away.

Have you been dealing with a nagging injury that just isn’t getting better, even with rest or rehab?

That’s where shockwave can make a difference. By increasing blood flow, stimulating cell repair, and helping break down scar tissue or calcification, shockwave helps kickstart your body’s natural healing response—especially in areas with poor circulation or chronic overload.

We only recommend shockwave when it’s appropriate for your condition and goals. Your therapist will assess your injury and walk you through what to expect, how it works, and how it fits into your overall plan.

What to Expect

Shockwave treatments are quick and are often combined with manual therapy or rehab exercises. Some people feel relief right away, while others notice improvement over several sessions as the effects stack. It is common to experience some mild discomfort during the treatment.
