What Is Shockwave Therapy?
If you’ve been dealing with chronic pain, stiffness, or old injuries that just won’t heal, shockwave therapy might be a game-changer. At Wellness Oasis in Barrington, Illinois, we use this advanced, non-invasive treatment to help our patients get lasting relief—without surgery or medication. Shockwave therapy uses targeted sound waves to stimulate healing in the body. These pulses increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and activate your body’s natural repair processes.
It’s a safe, fast, and effective way to treat:
- Shoulder pain
- Knee injuries and joint pain
- Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
- Tendonitis or chronic soft tissue injuries
- Muscle tightness and inflammation
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
During treatment, we use a handheld device to deliver high-frequency shockwaves directly to the affected area. It’s a quick process—usually 10 to 15 minutes—and there’s little to no downtime afterward. Most patients experience a noticeable improvement after just a few sessions.
