Shockwave therapy is often used for chronic pain conditions, tendon problems, plantar fasciitis, shoulder pain, and other difficult cases where damaged tissue needs healing stimulation.
Schedule an Appointment View All ServicesShockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured or irritated soft tissues. It is commonly used to address chronic tendon issues, scar tissue, calcific buildup, and areas of pain that have not resolved with traditional care alone.
The goal of shockwave therapy is to encourage blood flow, improve tissue healing, reduce pain, and help restore function. At Relief Plus, shockwave therapy is used as part of a broader treatment plan tailored to the patient’s condition and goals.
Shockwave therapy is commonly used for heel pain and plantar fasciitis that has become persistent or difficult to resolve.
Chronic elbow tendon pain can respond well when healing is stimulated in the irritated tissue.
Shockwave therapy may help with chronic rotator cuff irritation, tendinopathy, and calcific shoulder issues.
For lingering Achilles tendon problems, shockwave therapy may help reduce pain and improve function.
Some chronic knee tendon conditions may benefit from shockwave treatment as part of rehab-focused care.
Shockwave therapy can be used in certain chronic soft tissue conditions involving scar tissue, tightness, and dysfunction.
At Relief Plus, your visit begins with an evaluation to determine whether shockwave therapy is appropriate for your condition. Once the involved tissue is identified, the treatment is applied directly to the painful or dysfunctional area.
Patients often describe the treatment as a tapping or pulsing sensation. The intensity can be adjusted based on the condition being treated and your tolerance. Some discomfort may be present, especially over irritated tissue, but treatment is brief and does not require downtime in most cases.
Depending on your condition, shockwave therapy may be combined with chiropractic care, dry needling, corrective exercise, or other treatments to improve results.
We look at the actual tissue problem, not just the symptom, so treatment is more targeted and purposeful.
Shockwave therapy is used alongside other therapies when appropriate, rather than as a one-size-fits-all solution.
Many patients seek shockwave therapy after pain has lingered and standard approaches have not fully solved the problem.
We proudly serve patients from Lafayette, Carencro, Opelousas, and surrounding communities.
Shockwave therapy is often used for chronic tendon pain, plantar fasciitis, heel pain, shoulder tendon problems, elbow pain, and other persistent soft tissue conditions.
Some discomfort can occur during treatment, especially if the tissue is very irritated, but the intensity can usually be adjusted and the sessions are relatively short.
The number of sessions depends on the condition, how long it has been present, and how your body responds to treatment. Many chronic cases require a series of visits.
