Why Patients in Murray Choose Shockwave Therapy

At Vector Spine and Sport, we know pain can keep you from living your best life. That’s why we offer Shockwave Therapy (EPAT/ESWT)—a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment proven to accelerate healing, reduce pain, and restore mobility. Whether you’re dealing with stubborn tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, or even frozen shoulder, Shockwave Therapy may be the solution you’ve been searching for.

Studies show over 80% of patients report significant pain relief after a full course of treatment (Mayo Clinic).

Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy is effective for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

  • Plantar Fasciitis – Chronic heel pain often improves after 3–5 sessions (PubMed Study).
  • Tendonitis & Tendinopathy – Shoulder, elbow, and knee tendons respond well to Shockwave’s tissue-regenerating effects (NIH Study).
  • Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) – Clinical research shows improved range of motion and pain reduction (NIH Study).
  • Chronic Muscle Pain & Trigger Points – Loosens tight tissue and increases circulation.

What to Expect During Treatment

Patients often wonder: “What will it feel like?”
Here’s what you can expect at Vector Spine and Sport:

  1. Consultation & Evaluation – Dr. Jacob Reesor will examine the affected area and discuss your goals.
  2. Treatment Session – A handheld device delivers acoustic waves to the target tissue. Most patients describe it as mild pressure or tapping, not painful.
  3. Quick Recovery – No downtime; you can resume normal activities immediately.

Most treatment plans involve 3–8 sessions, spaced one week apart. Many patients report improved mobility after the first visit, with pain relief building over time.

How Shockwave Therapy Works

Shockwave Therapy sends high-energy sound waves into injured tissues. These waves:

  • Stimulate cell regeneration and blood flow
  • Break down scar tissue and calcifications
  • Reduce pain signals from nerves

It’s like jump-starting your body’s natural healing response—without surgery, injections, or medication.

Your Pain-Free Guide to Shockwave Therapy

Focused Shockwave EPAT

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:

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

  1. Preparation: We’ll locate the area, apply gel, and customize energy settings.
  2. 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.
  3. 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
