Heal faster. Move better. Prevent injury recurrence.
At Prehab NYC, we offer Shockwave Therapy—a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that accelerates healing, reduces pain, and restores mobility. Whether you’re an athlete recovering from overuse injuries or dealing with chronic musculoskeletal pain, shockwave therapy can help you get back to doing what you love—without surgery or long-term medications.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes. These sound waves increase blood flow, break down scar tissue, and promote tissue regeneration in injured areas.
It’s a proven treatment for both acute injuries and chronic pain conditions, widely used in sports medicine, orthopedics, and rehabilitation clinics worldwide.
How Shockwave Therapy Works
Targeted Acoustic Pulses – The therapist applies a handheld device that sends controlled shockwaves to the injured area.
Stimulates Healing – These waves trigger increased circulation and metabolic activity, helping damaged tissue repair faster.
Pain Reduction – Shockwaves reduce nerve sensitivity and break up calcifications that contribute to chronic pain.
Long-Term Results – Many patients notice improvements after just a few sessions, with continued healing in the weeks that follow.
Conditions Shockwave Therapy Treats
Shockwave therapy is effective for a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries, including:
- Plantar fasciitis & heel spurs
- Tennis elbow & golfer’s elbow
- Shoulder tendinitis & calcific deposits
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Patellar tendinitis (jumper’s knee)
- Shin splints
- Hip bursitis
- Scar tissue & muscle adhesions
- Chronic muscle pain from overuse injuries
If traditional physical therapy, rest, and medications haven’t provided lasting relief, shockwave therapy may be the breakthrough you need.
