Advanced Non-Invasive Treatment for Chronic Pain and Injury

At Activate Physical Therapy & Wellness, we are committed to offering advanced, evidence-based treatments to help patients recover faster and move better. We are excited to offer Shockwave Therapy, a non-invasive treatment that stimulates the body’s natural healing processes for chronic injuries and musculoskeletal conditions.

Our clinic utilizes both focused and radial shockwave technology from Storz Medical, allowing us to precisely target different tissues and depths depending on the condition being treated.

Shockwave therapy has been widely used in Europe for decades and is increasingly recognized in the United States as an effective treatment for stubborn orthopedic conditions that have not fully responded to traditional therapies.

What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy uses acoustic sound waves that are delivered directly to injured or painful tissues.

These energy waves stimulate the body’s healing response by:

• Increasing circulation to injured tissues
• Stimulating collagen production
• Breaking up calcified or degenerative tissue
• Reducing chronic inflammation
• Encouraging regeneration of tendon, ligament, bone, and connective tissue

Treatments are non-invasive, quick, and require little downtime, making shockwave therapy an excellent option for people looking to avoid injections or surgery.
