Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy ModalityTechnology Overview
Shockwave Therapy represents the cutting edge of rehabilitation technology utilized at Dr. Karolin Rockson PT. By integrating Shockwave Therapy into our evidence-based treatment plans, we can significantly accelerate tissue healing, reduce pain pathways, and enhance neuromuscular re-education beyond what traditional therapy alone can achieve.
How It Works (Clinical Mechanism)
ESWT delivers high-energy acoustic pressure waves to targeted tissues, creating microtrauma that triggers the body's natural healing response. The shockwaves increase blood circulation, break down calcifications, and stimulate neovascularization. The cavitation effect disrupts painful scar tissue and stimulates osteoblast activity in chronic tendinopathies.
Clinical Indications
- •Chronic tendinopathies (Achilles, patellar, tennis elbow)
- •Plantar fasciitis with or without heel spur
- •Calcific rotator cuff tendinitis
- •Trigger point release in myofascial pain syndrome
- •Shin splints and chronic compartment syndrome
- •Non-union fractures and stress fractures
Contraindications
- •Pregnancy
- •Over growth plates in children and adolescents
- •Blood clotting disorders or anticoagulant use
- •Pacemakers or implanted devices in treatment area
- •Active infection or malignancy in area
- •Recent corticosteroid injection (within 6 weeks)
Clinical Expected Outcomes
Achieves 70–85% success rate in chronic plantar fasciitis
Resolves calcific deposits in 60–80% of rotator cuff cases
Reduces chronic tendon pain by 60–80% in 3 sessions
Improves functional scores in athletic performance
Avoids need for surgery in 75% of eligible patients
