Shockwave Therapy in Woodstock

If persistent aches and stiffness have become part of your daily routine despite other care, it may be time to explore something different. Shockwave therapy at Advanced Pain & Spine Center offers a non-invasive way to reach deep tissue that other hands-on methods can’t access, stimulating your body’s natural healing process from the inside out.

Whether you’re dealing with a stubborn shoulder issue, chronic hip discomfort, or knee concerns that haven’t shown improvement, this advanced therapy may help you move with greater comfort and confidence.

How Shockwave Works to Support Your Healing

Shockwave therapy uses technology originally developed to break up kidney stones and adapted to treat soft-tissue conditions throughout the body. High-energy acoustic waves penetrate deep into muscles, tendons, and joints manual techniques simply can’t touch.

As these waves enter your tissue, they trigger your body to produce its own stem cells at the site naturally. These stem cells come from your own system, so your body puts them to work repairing and rebuilding damaged areas. At the same time, the waves help stop muscle spasms and break up adhesions that restrict movement and cause discomfort.

Two Types of Shockwave for Better Results

Not all therapy sessions are the same. We offer both radial and focal shockwave devices. Radial shockwaves treat more superficial tissue layers, while the focal ones penetrate deeper into the body. Depending on your specific condition, Dr. Sikanowicz will determine which type, or sometimes use both during your session, to address your body’s unique needs.

What to Expect During and After Your Session

A typical session usually lasts 15 to 20 minutes. The handheld device delivers acoustic waves directly to your problem area. Some discomfort may occur, but most patients tolerate it well. After your session, you’ll be asked to avoid heat or ice for three days to help maintain increased blood flow and promote healing. The healing effects will continue in the days and weeks after your session.
