Shockwave Therapy for Pelvic Health and Sports Injuries: A Modern Healing Solution
If you’ve been sidelined by stubborn tendon pain, pelvic floor tension, or scar tissue that just won’t release—shockwave therapy might be the game-changer you’ve been waiting for!
Special Package Pricing for the month—see below!
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy, or Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing deep within soft tissues. It promotes cell regeneration, blood flow, collagen production, and helps break up scar tissue or calcifications.
To put it simply, it tricks the body into thinking that it has a new injury, without any tissue damage. This brings in the inflammatory markers that initiate healing. Over the next 8-12weeks post shockwave, Softwave Shockwave has been shown to bring in stem cells as well. This is regenerative medicine!
It’s commonly used in sports medicine and now increasingly in pelvic floor therapy—especially when traditional methods have plateaued.
What is Unique about Softwave Shockwave?
There are many advertised shockwave devices around town. Many are not true Shockwave devices, and are in fact radial, which does not produce an actual shockwave. Radial can be a little more abrasive and can also cause tissue damage. Softwave Shockwave is much more comfortable, no tissue damage, and we ensure that you receive the correct amount of shocks per research and protocols (1500-3000 depending on the body part). Softwave also reaches tissues up to the depth of about a soup can, so it can treat a lot more surface area.
How It Helps in Pelvic Health
In pelvic physical therapy, shockwave therapy can target deep pelvic muscle tightness, perineal pain, scar tissue (from C-section or episiotomy), and persistent trigger points. It may be used for:
Pelvic floor tension and muscle hypertonicity
Erectile Dysfunction, even the type resistant to medications
Postpartum scar mobilization (perineal or C-section)
Pudendal Neuralgia
Vulvodynia or chronic pelvic pain
Pain with intercourse (dyspareunia)
Tailbone pain (coccydynia)
Incontinence
Testicular Pain
This treatment complements manual therapy and internal work—offering a non-invasive, external tool to calm the nervous system and improve tissue pliability.
Why Athletes Love It
Whether you’re a weekend warrior or training at a high level, shockwave therapy helps with chronic tendon and fascia injuries, especially those that don’t respond to rest or basic rehab.
Top conditions it treats in sports medicine include:
Plantar fasciitis
Achilles tendinopathy
Hamstring or gluteal tendinopathy
Patellar tendinitis (jumper’s knee)
Hip or groin pain
IT band syndrome
Muscle trigger points and scar tissue
Because it promotes regeneration at the cellular level, it helps athletes heal faster and more completely—with less downtime.
What to Expect During a Session
Sessions last about 10–15 minutes.
You’ll feel rhythmic tapping or pulsing—some areas may feel tender, but it’s generally well tolerated.
Most people benefit from 3–6 sessions, spaced about a week apart.
No needles, no medications, and no downtime.
Is It Right for You?
Shockwave therapy is safe and effective—but it's not for everyone. You may not be a candidate if you are:
Pregnant
On blood thinners
Have certain vascular or clotting disorders
Have open wounds or infections in the treatment area
We'll always evaluate you first to ensure it's the right fit.
Final Thoughts
Shockwave therapy is a powerful tool for:
✅ Pelvic floor patients who are stuck in a cycle of tension or pain
✅ Athletes who want to recover faster and perform better
✅ Anyone with scar tissue, tight fascia, or chronic tendinopathies
If you're frustrated with slow progress, this treatment may be the reset your body needs.
