Shockwave Therapy

Some tendon problems simply stall — plantar fasciitis that’s lingered for a year, tennis elbow that shrugs off rest and stretching, a stubborn Achilles that flares with every attempt to train. Focused shockwave therapy exists for exactly these cases.

Shockwave delivers precise acoustic pulses into the affected tissue, stimulating blood flow and restarting the healing response in tissue that’s stopped repairing itself. It’s non-invasive, takes minutes per session, and pairs with a loading program that rebuilds the tendon’s capacity — because the research is clear that shockwave plus targeted exercise outperforms either alone.

We’re one of the few clinics in Central Oregon offering focused (not just radial) shockwave as part of a complete physical therapy plan.

What we treat

• Plantar Fasciitis
• Achilles Tendinopathy
• Tennis Elbow (Epicondylalgia)
• Patellar Tendinopathy
• Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
• Chronic Tendon Pain

What to expect

• An evaluation to confirm shockwave is right for your condition
• Brief in-session treatments — most patients describe pressure, not pain
• A paired loading program to rebuild the tendon’s strength
• Honest tracking: most stubborn tendons respond within 3–6 sessions
