What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. These sound waves help improve blood flow, repair damaged tissues, and break down scar tissue that may be limiting mobility or causing pain.

At The Spine & Health Center of New Jersey, our clinicians use state-of-the-art shockwave therapy systems to help patients recover from chronic musculoskeletal pain—without medication, injections, or surgery.

We proudly offer shockwave therapy in our Closter, Park Ridge, and Montvale offices, serving patients throughout Bergen County, NJ.

How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?

Shockwave therapy delivers focused energy waves directly to injured or painful areas of the body. These acoustic waves stimulate cellular repair and increase metabolic activity in soft tissues.

During treatment:

  • A Handheld Applicator Delivers Controlled Pulses Targets the affected area with precision.
  • The Waves Penetrate Deep Into Muscles, Tendons, and Ligaments Reaches the source of pain to promote recovery.
  • Collagen Production and Circulation Increase Accelerates healing and restores tissue health.

The therapy typically takes 15–20 minutes per session and requires no downtime. Most patients experience pain relief and improved mobility within just a few treatments.

What Conditions Can Shockwave Therapy Treat?

Shockwave therapy is clinically proven to relieve pain and promote healing in a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Achilles tendinopathy
  • Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
  • Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)
  • Rotator cuff tendinopathy
  • Calcific tendonitis
  • Hamstring or quadriceps tendinopathy
  • Chronic back and neck pain
  • Hip and knee pain
  • Shin splints and runner’s knee
  • Foot and ankle pain
  • Erectile dysfunction (ED) – in select cases involving vascular dysfunction
Shockwave therapy is also used in sports medicine and physical rehabilitation to accelerate recovery from soft tissue injuries and overuse conditions.

Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

Reduces Pain and Inflammation

Promotes the release of pain-reducing neurotransmitters and breaks down scar tissue that restricts movement.

Faster Recovery Than Traditional Methods

Many patients return to normal activities more quickly compared to surgery or long-term medication use.

Non-Surgical and Non-Invasive

No incisions, anesthesia, or injections—just safe, effective, science-backed treatment.

Accelerates Natural Healing

Stimulates cellular regeneration, collagen formation, and improved blood circulation.

Improves Mobility and Function

Helps restore flexibility and range of motion in affected joints and muscles.

Minimal Side Effects

Treatment is well tolerated, with only mild redness or tenderness that resolves within hours.

What to Expect During a Shockwave Therapy Session

Your session begins with a detailed assessment to identify the specific area of pain or dysfunction. A small amount of gel is applied to the skin, and the therapist moves a handheld device over the treatment area.

You may feel mild tapping or tingling as the acoustic waves penetrate the tissues, but discomfort is minimal. Most patients describe the sensation as “deep pressure” rather than pain.

Each session lasts 15–20 minutes, and a full treatment plan usually includes 3–6 sessions spaced about a week apart, depending on your condition.

Is Shockwave Therapy Right for You?

Shockwave therapy is ideal for patients who:

  • Suffer from chronic pain that hasn’t improved with rest or traditional therapy
  • Want to avoid injections, pain medications, or surgery
  • Are recovering from sports or overuse injuries
  • Experience tendon or soft tissue pain that limits mobility

Your provider will evaluate your medical history and determine if you’re a candidate for ESWT. Shockwave therapy is not recommended for patients with certain vascular conditions, infections, or those who are pregnant.
