Who Is a Good Candidate for Shockwave Therapy?

In general, good candidates are people dealing with chronic tendon pain, stubborn soft tissue injuries, or overuse problems that have not improved enough with simpler care alone.

Common Examples

  • plantar fasciitis
  • Achilles tendinopathy
  • tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow
  • patellar tendon pain
  • chronic shoulder pain
  • chronic lateral hip pain

Who Often Ends Up Exploring It?

Often it is people who have already tried rest, stretching, activity modification, massage, mobility work, strengthening, chiropractic care, or other conservative treatment, but still feel stuck.

What Else Matters?

The best fit depends on the condition, the tissue involved, how long symptoms have been present, and whether the broader recovery plan makes sense for the problem.
