Targeted Pain Relief & Deep Tissue Healing Without Surgery
At Biodynamic Therapies, we offer Focal Shockwave Therapy—a non-invasive, evidence-based treatment that delivers concentrated energy to deep tissue structures. This advanced therapy is ideal for treating chronic tendinopathies, calcifications, non-healing fractures, and acute musculoskeletal injuries. It’s also increasingly used in sports medicine, rehabilitation, and pain management for its ability to promote long-term healing where other treatments may have failed.
What Is Focal Shockwave Therapy?
Focal shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic pulses that converge at a specific point inside the body. Unlike radial shockwaves that disperse over a broader area, focal waves penetrate deeper, reaching tendons, ligaments, bone, or soft tissue with pinpoint accuracy.
How Focal Shockwave Therapy Works
- Focused Energy Delivery
A specialized handheld applicator emits focused shockwaves targeted at the treatment site. These waves stimulate a strong biological response deep within the tissue. - Cellular Activation and Healing
The energy promotes increased blood flow, stimulates cell regeneration, encourages collagen production, breaks down scar tissue or calcifications, and supports angiogenesis—the formation of new blood vessels—to enhance tissue repair and accelerate healing. - Pain Reduction
Shockwaves help “reset” pain receptors in the affected area, providing lasting relief from chronic or acute musculoskeletal pain. - No Downtime, No Injections
Most sessions last 15 to 20 minutes, require no anesthesia, and involve minimal discomfort—typically just a mild pulsing or tapping sensation.
