Patient Feedback:
- "I suffered from plantar fasciitis and acute heel pain for over 1 year. It started after a strenuous 10-day backpacking trip. I tried orthotics, massage, rest, ice, braces at night, and an older generation shockwave machine. Nothing worked! Then I learned Silicon Valley Sports Medicine obtained a state-of-the-art CuraMedix machine that sounded promising. I had just 4 treatments over 4 weeks and could tell from the first visit that this was my ticket to being pain free. The areas treated (calf, arch, and heel) and the methods used (radial pressure wave and, more importantly, focused shock wave on the heel) were just what I needed to be back out on the trails again, cured!" - Heather L

Shockwave Therapy
We offer state-of-the-art Extracorportal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) or "Shockwave" delivered via our Storz Medical DUOLITH SD1 System to provide both radial and focused shockwave for our patients. Storz Medical is the gold standard in shockwave technology and has been used in elite sports medicine settings as well as many peer-reviewed clinical studies with proven outcomes.
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive and evidence based treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. Originally developed for breaking up kidney stones, shockwave is now widely used in sports medicine to treat chronic pain conditions.
Shockwave comes in two primary forms — Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT) and Focused Shockwave Therapy (FSWT). The radial-only devices are more widely available and can be found in a variety of offices & settings. However the focused device can deliver higher energy at a precise point, which allows for more selective targeting of specific tissues. By offering both radial and focused shockwave therapy we can more precisely target a higher amount of focused energy for deep, chronic conditions and often, much better outcomes for patients.Shockwave is increasingly popular among athletes and individuals seeking relief from stubborn, long-term musculoskeletal pain. Our office offers both radial and focused shockwave treatments, empowering you to move with greater ease, reduce pain, and reclaim the activities you love.
