Shockwave and Regenerative Therapies are advanced treatments that stimulate the body’s natural repair processes using high-energy acoustic waves. These therapies activate healing in damaged tissues, improve circulation, and regenerate tendons, muscles, and connective tissues that have failed to heal properly.

Shockwave therapy is especially effective for chronic injuries and persistent pain where normal healing has slowed or stopped.

How Shockwave Therapy Works

Shockwave therapy delivers controlled acoustic waves into injured tissues. These waves trigger a biological response known as mechanotransduction, where mechanical stimulation activates cellular repair processes.

This therapy helps by:

  • Stimulating tissue regeneration
  • Increasing blood circulation
  • Activating stem cells and repair mechanisms
  • Breaking down scar tissue and calcifications
  • Reducing inflammation
  • Reducing chronic pain signals

These effects allow damaged tissues to heal more effectively and restore normal function.

Types of Shockwave Therapies Offered

Focused shockwaves penetrate deep into tissues with precision, targeting specific injured areas.

Best for:

  • Deep tendon injuries
  • Calcified tendonitis
  • Chronic joint pain
  • Deep structural injuries

Radial shockwaves spread across a broader treatment area, improving circulation and releasing muscle tension.

Best for:

  • Muscle injuries
  • Trigger points
  • Superficial tendon injuries
  • Myofascial pain

Acoustic waves stimulate circulation and cellular repair in both musculoskeletal and soft tissues.

Benefits:

  • Improves circulation
  • Stimulates collagen production
  • Enhances tissue repair

Targets fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles, which often becomes tight and restricted.

Benefits:

  • Releases fascial tension
  • Improves mobility
  • Restores flexibility
  • Reduces chronic pain

Conditions treated

Shockwave and regenerative therapies are highly effective for:

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Tennis elbow
  • Shoulder pain
  • Achilles tendonitis
  • Knee pain
  • Muscle injuries
  • Chronic tendon injuries
  • Sports injuries

benefits

  • Accelerates healing
  • Reduces chronic pain
  • Improves mobility
  • Stimulates tissue regeneration
  • Improves circulation
  • Breaks down scar tissue

Why Regenerative Therapy Is Important

In chronic injuries, the body’s healing process becomes inactive. Shockwave therapy reactivates this healing response by stimulating cellular repair mechanisms.

This allows the body to repair itself naturally without surgery or medication.

Your Treatment Experience

Shockwave therapy is safe, non-invasive, and performed in short sessions.

Most patients experience:

  • Reduced pain
  • Improved mobility
  • Progressive healing over several weeks

Role in the McDonald Method™

Shockwave and regenerative therapies support both:

Pillar 1: Structural Integrity by repairing damaged tissues
Pillar 4: Cellular Regeneration by stimulating cellular healing

These therapies help restore tissue health and accelerate full recovery.
