Shockwave Therapy is a non-surgical procedure that uses strong soundwaves to stimulate a problematic area. The goals of this treatment are to diminish pain, break down scar tissue and adhesion, and improve blood flow.
Our Kinas Miracle Wave unit is great at treating muscle and tendon issues in the outer 2 inches of the body. Treatments are 5-15 minutes long and while the treatment can cause discomfort at the time of the treatment, most patients finish treatment with a noticeable reduction in pain immediately.

- Achilles tendon pain
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
- Golfers elbow (medial epicondylitis)
- Patellofemoral syndrome / Runner’s knee
