Does “shockwave” mean electrical shocks?

Despite the name, shockwave therapy does not use electrical shocks. Instead, it uses acoustic pressure waves to deliver mechanical energy to targeted areas of the body.

Common Misconception

Shockwave therapy isn’t the same as electrical stimulation or being “shocked.” The treatment uses targeted sound waves to help stimulate the body’s natural healing response.

The sensation can vary from person to person, and treatment intensity can be adjusted based on the area being treated and your comfort level.

What Is Shockwave Therapy Used For?

Shockwave therapy is commonly used to help address chronic pain, muscle and tendon issues, and areas that have been slow to heal, including conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tendinopathy, and certain joint or soft-tissue pain.
