Shockwave Therapy

A Non-Surgical Solution for Chronic Pain

If you’re struggling with ongoing joint or tendon pain that hasn’t improved with rest, physical therapy, or medication, shockwave therapy may be the relief you’ve been looking for.

At SD Sports Physical Therapy, we offer non-invasive shockwave therapy to help treat a variety of chronic musculoskeletal conditions—without the need for injections or surgery.

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy (also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy or ESWT) uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing response. These waves target damaged tissue, increasing blood flow and encouraging tissue regeneration—helping to reduce pain and promote faster recover
