Shockwave Therapy
Advanced Healing & Pain Relief at Surge Wellness
What is Radial Shockwave Therapy?
Radial Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive, evidence-based treatment designed to accelerate healing, reduce chronic pain, and restore mobility.
Despite the name, shockwaves are not electrical. Instead, they are high-energy acoustic (sound) waves delivered directly into affected tissues through a handheld applicator. When these acoustic waves penetrate damaged, inflamed, or scarred tissue, they trigger a series of powerful biological responses:
- Stimulates Collagen Production: Essential for repairing tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues.
- Breaks Down Calcification: Helps dissolve painful calcium deposits in tendons (such as calcific tendinitis).
- Increases Blood Flow: Promotes the growth of new micro-blood vessels, bringing vital oxygen and nutrients to the area to speed up recovery.
- Reduces Chronic Inflammation: Reverses long-term inflammatory responses so the body can resume its natural healing process.
- Relieves Pain: Overstimulates nerve endings to immediately decrease pain signaling to the brain.

What to Expect During a Session
- Targeted Assessment: Your therapist will identify the exact area of pain or dysfunction through palpation and movement analysis.
- Coupling Gel Application: A clear gel is applied to the skin over the treatment site to help the acoustic waves travel seamlessly into your tissue.
- The Treatment: The applicator is guided over the area. You will hear a steady pulsing sound and feel a deep tapping or thumping sensation.
- Does it hurt? You may feel mild discomfort, often described as a “good ache,” but your practitioner can instantly adjust the energy intensity to match your comfort level.
- Quick Duration: A single session typically takes only 8 to 10 minutes of active shockwave application.
- Post-Treatment: There is no downtime! You can walk out and resume your normal daily activities right away. Some clients report immediate relief, while others notice progressive improvements over the following weeks.
Typical Treatment Course: Most chronic conditions require 3 to 6 sessions, scheduled roughly 5 to 10 days apart, to achieve optimal, long-lasting healing.
