Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate the healing process in damaged tissues. Originally developed for breaking down kidney stones, this technology has been adapted to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. Shockwave Therapy is particularly effective for individuals dealing with chronic pain or injuries that have not responded well to other treatments. At TruHealth PT, we use Shockwave Therapy to promote faster recovery, reduce pain, and improve mobility in patients with a variety of conditions.
How Shockwave Therapy Works
Shockwave Therapy works by delivering high-energy acoustic waves directly to the affected area. These waves penetrate deep into the tissues, increasing blood flow and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. The therapy helps break down calcium deposits and scar tissue while promoting the regeneration of tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues. It’s a non-surgical, drug-free treatment that typically requires several sessions to achieve optimal results. Each session is quick and straightforward, making Shockwave Therapy an ideal option for patients looking to recover without extensive downtime.

What to Expect During a Session
During a Shockwave Therapy session at TruHealth PT, you’ll be positioned comfortably as our therapist applies a handheld device to the targeted area. The device emits high-energy sound waves that penetrate deep into your tissues, stimulating healing. Most sessions last between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the severity of the condition.
You may feel a tapping or pulsing sensation during the therapy, which is generally well-tolerated. Some patients experience mild discomfort in areas with severe inflammation or scar tissue, but the intensity can be adjusted to your comfort level. After the session, most patients can resume their daily activities immediately, with minimal to no downtime required. While some patients may experience relief after the first session, multiple sessions are typically needed to achieve lasting results. Your therapist will recommend a treatment plan based on your specific condition and goals.

Real Results, Real People
“Honestly some of the best people I know. I’ve never seen a PT before, but coming in to deal with some military injuries has been transformational. After some knee and IT band work, I am back training for my 50 miler, squatting over 250, and feel like myself. Affordable with insurance. Highly recommend.”

“James is knowledgeable, encouraging, helps keep my mom motivated, and the exercises he gives her both pre and post surgery have made her back fusion recovery so much easier on her — both body and mind. I highly recommend James for any injury or surgical recovery.”

“Went to James for a bulged disk in my lower back for about 6 weeks, he worked his magic and showed me how to strengthen the muscles around it along with stretching and I haven’t had any issues since. He is very involved and knows what I need, I don’t feel like just another patient with him. Would recommend him to anyone.”
