Shockwave Therapy in Jacksonville Beach
Non-invasive Pain Relief
Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT) is a non-invasive treatment using acoustic pressure waves—often referred to as radial pressure wave therapy—to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Delivered via a handheld applicator that emits waves radially across a broader area (in contrast to more focused shockwaves), RSWT promotes tissue regeneration and pain relief without surgery or needles.
​
Using compressed-air technology, the device launches a projectile within its applicator, producing pressure waves that penetrate tissues 4–5 cm deep. These waves create controlled microtrauma, triggering biological responses like increased blood flow, collagen synthesis, and release of healing growth factors.
RSWT has shown promising outcomes in reducing pain and improving function. Studies report 72–80% success rates in treating chronic tendinopathies. Additionally, another study found long-term effectiveness comparable to laser therapy, with some benefits persisting for months.
Benefits of Radial Shockwave
Boosts Blood Flow & Circulation - Enhances oxygenation and nutrient delivery to injured tissues.
Reduces Inflammation & Pain - Helps calm chronic inflammation while disrupting pain signal pathways.
Stimulates Collagen & Tissue Repair - Encourages new collagen formation and cellular regeneration.
Breaks Down Calcifications - Often used to address calcium buildup in tendons.
Non-Invasive & Little Downtime - No anesthesia required; patients typically resume regular activity immediately.
Common Conditions Treated
Radial Shockwave therapy is widely used to address musculoskeletal conditions, including but not limited to:
Plantar fasciitis & heel pain
Achilles tendinopathy
Patellar (jumper’s) tendon issues
Tennis elbow & golfer’s elbow
Rotator cuff and shoulder tendon issues
Shin splints and other chronic overuse injuries
