Shockwave Therapy
Medically reviewed by Dr. Sam Zand, MD · Board-Certified in Regenerative Medicine · Last updated April 2026
Harness the power of acoustic waves to accelerate healing, reduce chronic pain, and regenerate tissue. A proven, non-invasive treatment trusted by elite athletes and medical professionals.
Shockwave Therapy (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy / ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that delivers acoustic pressure waves to targeted tissues, stimulating neovascularization, collagen remodeling, and cellular regeneration. Originally developed to break down kidney stones, shockwave technology is now widely used in sports medicine and musculoskeletal rehabilitation to treat chronic tendinopathies, calcifications, and soft tissue injuries without surgery.
Who Is This For?
Athletes with Tendon Injuries
Tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy
Chronic Pain Patients
Calcific shoulder, trigger points, myofascial pain
Post-Injury Rehabilitation
Accelerate tissue remodeling without surgery
Active Adults
Address overuse injuries and maintain mobility
What Our Patients Say
"I suffered from plantar fasciitis for two years. Six shockwave sessions later, I'm running pain-free again."
— Daniel K., Plantar Fasciitis
"The results were faster than I expected. My tennis elbow went from constant pain to manageable in just four sessions."
— Rebecca A., Tennis Elbow

Clinical Evidence
A meta-analysis of 28 randomized controlled trials found that extracorporeal shockwave therapy achieved a success rate of 72-91% for chronic plantar fasciitis, outperforming corticosteroid injections for long-term outcomes (Sun et al., American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2020).
Clinical research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine demonstrated that shockwave therapy stimulates neovascularization (new blood vessel formation) by up to 30% in treated tendon tissue, directly accelerating the healing cascade (Wang, 2012).
A systematic review in Clinical Rehabilitation showed that ESWT significantly reduced pain and improved function in 76% of patients with calcific shoulder tendinopathy, with effects sustained at 24-month follow-up (Verstraelen et al., 2014).
Frequently Asked Questions
Is shockwave therapy painful?
Most patients describe it as intense but tolerable. The intensity can be adjusted based on your comfort level, and any discomfort typically decreases as treatment progresses.
How many sessions will I need?
Most conditions respond well to 3-6 sessions, spaced 1-2 weeks apart. Your treatment plan will be customized based on your specific condition and response.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are minimal and may include temporary redness, mild swelling, or tenderness in the treated area. These typically resolve within 24-48 hours.
When will I see results?
Some patients notice improvement after the first session. Maximum benefits typically develop over 6-12 weeks as tissue healing and regeneration occur.
How much does shockwave therapy cost?
$200 per session. Packages of 3 ($525) and 6 ($950) offer significant savings. VIP members receive 15-30% off all treatments.
Is shockwave therapy safe?
Yes. Shockwave therapy is FDA-cleared, non-invasive, and has been used safely in clinical settings for decades. It requires no anesthesia, no incisions, and has minimal side effects compared to surgical alternatives.
Can I combine shockwave therapy with other treatments?
Yes. Shockwave therapy pairs well with PEMF therapy for enhanced pain relief, red light therapy for accelerated tissue repair, and IV vitamin therapy to support the healing process with optimal nutrition.
Who is a good candidate for shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy is ideal for individuals with chronic tendon injuries, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, shoulder pain, or musculoskeletal conditions that have not responded to conventional treatments. It is also used for erectile dysfunction and cellulite reduction.
How long does a shockwave therapy session take?
Each session takes only 15-20 minutes. There is no downtime, and you can return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Is shockwave therapy covered by insurance?
Most regenerative and longevity treatments are not covered by traditional insurance. Evolve Longevity offers package pricing and VIP memberships to make treatments more accessible.
