At Granite State Physical Therapy, we’re committed to bringing you the most advanced, evidence-based treatments to accelerate healing and reduce pain—without surgery or medication. That’s why we’re proud to offer Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) using the Chattanooga Intelect Focus Shockwave device, available in our Hooksett and Plymouth clinic locations.
What Is Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT)?
Shock Wave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. The focused shock waves trigger biological responses that enhance blood flow, break down scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and stimulate collagen production—jumpstarting your body’s natural recovery process.
What Conditions Can It Help With?
Focused shock wave therapy is clinically proven to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Plantar fasciitis and heel spurs
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
- Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)
- Patellar tendinitis (“jumper’s knee”)
- Rotator cuff tendinopathy
- Hip bursitis
- Myofascial trigger points
- Chronic joint or muscle pain
If you’ve tried physical therapy, rest, or medication and haven’t seen improvement, focused ESWT may be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.
What Does It Feel Like?
During treatment, patients may feel a tapping or pulsing sensation at the treatment site. While there may be some mild discomfort during the session—especially in sensitive areas—most patients tolerate it well. Afterward, the treated area might feel slightly sore for a day or two, similar to post-workout soreness. Many people begin to feel improvement within just a few sessions.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Shock Wave Therapy?
This treatment is ideal for those dealing with stubborn, chronic pain that hasn’t responded to other approaches. It’s also great for athletes and active individuals looking to recover faster from overuse injuries. If you’re unsure if it’s right for you, our licensed physical therapists can evaluate your condition and recommend the best treatment plan.
Why Combine Shock Wave Therapy with LightCure Deep Tissue Laser?
For enhanced results, many patients choose to combine Shock Wave Therapy with our LightCure Deep Tissue Laser Therapy. While shock waves stimulate cellular repair and tissue regeneration, the deep tissue laser increases circulation, reduces inflammation, and further accelerates healing at the cellular level. Together, these two powerful technologies deliver synergistic benefits for faster, longer-lasting relief.
