Chronic pain can be life-changing. Whether it’s heel pain, tennis elbow, or shoulder tendon issues, many patients find themselves stuck in a cycle of injections, medications, and rest that never truly works.
At Central Ohio Spine & Joint in Westerville, Ohio, we offer focused shockwave therapy (ESWT) — a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment that stimulates true healing. This guide explains what shockwave therapy is, who it helps, and why it’s becoming the go-to choice for patients who want results without surgery.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. These waves increase blood flow, break down scar tissue, and trigger new tissue growth.
Unlike treatments that only mask pain, shockwave therapy resets the healing process — addressing the root cause.
Conditions Shockwave Therapy Treats
- Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
- Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
- Rotator cuff tendonitis
- Achilles tendon pain
- Patellar tendonitis (“jumper’s knee”)
- Hip pain and bursitis
- Chronic joint pain in knees, hips, or shoulders
Why Shockwave Therapy Works Better
- Non-invasive — no surgery, no injections
- Fast sessions — 10–20 minutes, no downtime
- Proven results — 70–80% patient success rate in studies
- Long-term healing — addresses damaged tissue, not just symptoms
Evidence Supporting Shockwave Therapy
- Multiple randomized controlled trials confirm ESWT improves outcomes in chronic tendon and fascia injuries.
- A 2017 meta-analysis found shockwave therapy superior to traditional conservative care for plantar fasciitis.
- Patients report lasting improvements compared to injections or rest.
