At Vector Spine and Sport in Murray, Utah, our mission is to help you move confidently again—without surgery or heavy meds. That’s why we trust Shockwave Therapy (ESWT/EPAT) for stubborn issues like tendon pain and frozen shoulder. Backed by research and powered by innovation, here’s why patients love it.
Conditions Shockwave Treats Effectively
Clinical evidence supports shockwave therapy in treating a range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Plantar Fasciitis – Randomized studies reveal ESWT outperforms ultrasound in decreasing pain and improving function.
- Calcific Tendonitis of the Shoulder – Strong outcomes in pain reduction and functional improvement documented in controlled trials.
- Achilles & Patellar Tendinopathy, Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow), Hip Tendinopathy – ESWT consistently reduces pain and enhances healing via increased circulation and tissue regeneration.
- Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) – ESWT significantly improves shoulder mobility and reduces stiffness compared to standard therapies.
Shockwave Therapy is uniquely effective because it stimulates healing via controlled tissue microtrauma, promoting growth factors and restoring function.
What Your Treatment Will Feel Like
- Preparation: We’ll locate the area, apply gel, and customize energy settings.
- During Treatment: You may experience short, repetitive pulses—commonly described as a mild 5/10 “discomfort,” not pain. We adjust in real time for your comfort.
- Post-Session Relief: Many notice immediate relief in pain and movement. Healing continues across 3–8 weekly sessions.
Side effects are minimal—some patients may see redness or mild swelling, but serious complications are extremely rare.
Why It Works: The Science Behind the Sound
Shockwave Therapy works by transmitting high-energy acoustic waves through the skin into targeted tissues. This stimulates:
- A local healing cascade (cellular repair and new blood vessel formation)
- Reduction in pain-signaling nerve activity (nociception inhibition)
- Breakdown of scar tissue and calcifications, thereby enhancing flexibility and reducing inflammation
