A Drug Free Way to Help Stubborn Soft Tissue Heal

How It Works

Your exam comes first.

Dr. Giudice checks that shockwave is right for you. Then a handheld device sends pulses straight to the problem area.

Shockwave is usually paired with hands on care and rehab exercises. That way the tissue heals. And the movement pattern that strained it gets fixed too.

What a Visit Looks Like

Strong tapping. A few minutes. That’s it.

Here’s what happens:

  • A gel goes on your skin.

  • The applicator moves over the sore area.

  • You feel a strong tapping or pulsing.

Treatment takes only a few minutes per area. Over very sore spots it can feel uncomfortable. If so we can turn the intensity down. Just tell us.

After Your Visit

Some soreness afterward is normal. You can ask us what to expect for your own case. We’ll tell you at your visit.

Is It Right for You?

Not everyone is a match.

Dr. Giudice checks your diagnosis, your health history and your exam first. Shockwave may NOT be right if you:

  • Are pregnant

  • Have an active infection or a tumor over the area

  • Take blood thinners

  • Have a pacemaker near the area

If shockwave isn’t a fit we’ll tell you. And we’ll suggest something that is.

Your Care Plan

Shockwave is part of our in office care plans. And it works best with the rest of your care.

How many sessions you need and how far apart depends on you.

If your body heals slowly, other things may be in the way. Dr. Giudice can look at nutrition and inflammation too. You don’t have to start over.
