Whether you’re dealing with tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, or joint pain, FSWT promotes healing, reduces pain, and enhances mobility, helping you recover faster without the need for surgery or medication.
Focused Shockwave Therapy uses acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, making it an effective treatment for patients suffering from musculoskeletal conditions. With personalized care and a focus on long-term recovery, our FSWT treatments are designed to help you return to your daily activities pain-free.
Our Commitment to Your Health
FSWT is a safe, non-invasive treatment that is particularly effective for individuals who have not responded to traditional treatments like physical therapy or medications. This therapy uses high-energy shockwaves to target injured tissues, promoting blood circulation and stimulating the body’s natural repair mechanisms. As a result, FSWT can significantly reduce pain and accelerate healing, making it a popular option for patients with chronic conditions.
Whether you are an athlete looking to recover from a sports injury or dealing with chronic tendon pain, FSWT offers a non-surgical alternative that can improve function and quality of life.
Conditions Treated with FSWT
FSWT is highly effective in treating a wide range of chronic pain and soft tissue injuries, including:
How FSWT Works
Focused Shockwave Therapy works by delivering high-energy acoustic waves to injured tissues. These shockwaves create micro trauma at the cellular level, which stimulates the body’s natural healing response. This process encourages blood flow, reduces inflammation, and promotes the regeneration of healthy tissue. The increased circulation to the affected area helps accelerate healing and provides long-term pain relief.
The treatment is non-invasive, and most patients experience little to no downtime after therapy. Sessions are typically quick, lasting about 15 to 20 minutes, and results can often be seen after just a few treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to treat chronic pain and promote healing in soft tissues, tendons, and ligaments. By stimulating the body’s natural healing response, ESWT helps reduce pain, improve mobility, and speed up recovery for patients with various musculoskeletal conditions.
ESWT is effective in treating a wide range of conditions, including plantar fasciitis, tendinitis (such as Achilles tendonitis or rotator cuff tendinitis), tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, calcific tendonitis, shin splints, and chronic joint pain in the knees, hips, or shoulders. It is particularly useful for patients who have not responded well to other treatments like medication or physical therapy.
Results from ESWT vary depending on the individual and the condition being treated. Many patients begin to notice improvements after just a few sessions, with full results typically achieved after three to five treatments. Some patients may experience relief sooner, while others may require additional sessions based on the severity of their condition.
Most patients tolerate ESWT well, but some may experience mild discomfort during the treatment, particularly if the affected area is highly sensitive. However, the discomfort usually subsides quickly, and the therapy itself is brief. Our team at Hope Health & Wellness will adjust the intensity of the treatment based on your comfort level to ensure a positive experience.
The number of sessions required varies depending on the severity of your condition and how your body responds to the treatment. Typically, patients undergo three to five sessions, spaced about a week apart. During your initial consultation, we will assess your condition and recommend the appropriate number of treatments to achieve the best results.
ESWT is generally safe and non-invasive, with minimal side effects. Some patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or soreness in the treated area, but these side effects are temporary and usually resolve within a few days. There is no downtime required, and most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment.
Insurance coverage for ESWT varies depending on your provider and plan. At Hope Health & Wellness, we accept most major insurance plans, and our team will help you determine if your insurance covers shockwave therapy. We can also provide guidance on any out-of-pocket costs or alternative payment options if needed.
ESWT is an excellent option for individuals suffering from chronic pain or injuries that have not responded well to traditional treatments like physical therapy or medication. It is especially effective for athletes, individuals with overuse injuries, and those seeking a non-invasive alternative to surgery. During your consultation, we will evaluate your condition to determine if ESWT is the right choice for you.
