If you’ve been dealing with stubborn pain that just won’t go away, even after resting, medications, or traditional therapy, Shockwave Therapy could be the treatment you need. This non-invasive treatment accelerates healing, reduces chronic pain, and helps patients return to their favorite activities more quickly.
At StepUp Physical Therapy, we offer Shockwave Therapy in Murray and West Valley City, Utah, to help patients find lasting relief from soft tissue injuries and musculoskeletal pain.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), is an advanced, evidence-based treatment that uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. These waves promote blood flow, break down scar tissue and calcium deposits, and trigger the body’s natural repair process.
Unlike surgery or injections, Shockwave Therapy is a safe, drug-free, and non-invasive treatment, making it a powerful solution for chronic conditions that haven’t responded to other methods.
Who Can Benefit?
Our team of physical therapists commonly uses this treatment to treat:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tennis elbow / Golfer’s elbow
- Achilles tendinitis
- Patellar tendinitis (jumper’s knee)
- Shoulder tendinopathy / calcific tendonitis
- Shin splints
- Hip bursitis
- Trigger points and muscle tightness
- Chronic joint pain (knee, shoulder, elbow)
If you’ve been told surgery is your only option or you’ve been living with pain for months, this may offer the relief you’ve been searching for.
How This Advanced Treatment Works
Shockwave Therapy works by delivering high-energy acoustic pulses directly to the injured area. These pulses:
- Stimulate new blood vessel formation
- Reduce inflammation
- Promote collagen production
- Accelerate tissue regeneration
- Break up calcified deposits or scar tissue
Most patients begin to feel results after just 2–3 sessions, with full results developing over several weeks as the body continues to heal naturally.
Why This Treatment Could Be Right for You
Shockwave Therapy is a powerful alternative for those who want relief without surgery, injections, and medications. These benefits include:
- ✅ Non-invasive and drug-free
- ✅ Minimal to no downtime
- ✅ Short, in-office treatments (typically 15–20 minutes)
