Focal Shockwave Therapy

Focal Shockwave
Therapy

Pain is not always caused by injury or strain. Chronic inflammation, tissue degeneration, and poor healing responses can also contribute to ongoing discomfort. When pain persists despite conventional treatments, it may indicate that the body’s natural healing process is no longer functioning efficiently.

Focal Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that delivers concentrated high-frequency energy deep into targeted tissues to stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve mobility. Compared to radial shockwave therapy, it penetrates deeper and provides more precise energy delivery, making it effective for chronic and complex musculoskeletal conditions.

At AHBA, our advanced Focal Shockwave Therapy is designed to support tissue repair, restore function, and promote long-term recovery.

Frequently asked
questions

What conditions can be treated with Focal Shockwave Therapy?

At AHBA, Focal Shockwave Therapy is used to treat a wide range of acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, particularly those involving tendon degeneration, soft tissue injury, and persistent pain. An effective treatment for the following conditions:

Chronic pain syndromes (e.g., myofascial pain, regional muscle pain, hip pain)
Epicondylitis (tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow)
Tendinopathies (Achilles, patellar tendon, and rotator cuff/shoulder tendinitis)
Plantar fasciitis (chronic heel pain)
Calcific tendinitis and calcified soft tissue conditions
Overuse injuries and sports-related soft tissue disorders

What should I expect during the session?

During your session, you will be in a comfortable treatment setting with our provider. The procedure begins with a focused clinical assessment to accurately identify the area of pain and determine the optimal treatment parameters.

A specialized applicator is then used to deliver focused acoustic waves directly to the affected tissue. You may feel a tapping or pulsing sensation during the treatment. The session typically lasts 15 to 20 minutes

What are the side effects of focal shockwave therapy?

During the treatment, you may experience a mild and tolerable tingling sensation and some discomfort. After the session, it is common to notice temporary soreness and mild swelling in the treated area. These effects are typically short-lived and resolve within 24 to 48 hours after treatment. Serious complications are rare when the procedure is performed by trained professionals.

Is focal shockwave therapy painful?

Focal shockwave therapy may cause mild to moderate discomfort during the procedure, particularly when applied to sensitive or inflamed areas. This sensation is generally well tolerated and is an expected part of the therapeutic effect. Most patients describe the feeling as a deep, rhythmic pressure or tapping sensation. Any discomfort typically subsides shortly after the session.

At AHBA, patient comfort is a priority. Treatment intensity can be adjusted based on your tolerance to ensure a safe and manageable experience.

When will I start to feel the results?

Some patients may notice improvement after the first or second session, particularly in terms of pain reduction. However, because shockwave therapy stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, optimal results typically develop gradually over several weeks as tissue repair and regeneration occur

Can focal shockwave therapy be combined with other treatments?

Yes, focal shockwave therapy can be combined with other treatments to enhance the efficacy and recovery.

At AHBA, we provide a personalized, patient-centered approach, ensuring that your treatment plan is tailored to support long-term recovery, improved function, and sustained pain relief.
