Shockwave Therapy
When a tendon or joint problem stops responding to rest, ice, and time, the tissue is often stuck in a stalled repair process. Shockwave restarts it. No drugs, no needles, no downtime.
How It Works
Shockwave therapy delivers high energy acoustic pressure waves into injured tissue through a handheld applicator. The body reads those waves as a controlled stimulus and responds by sending repair resources to the area.
Three things happen. New blood vessels form, which brings circulation back to tissue that had gone quiet. Growth factors and collagen producing cells are activated, which rebuilds the tendon or fascia. And the pressure waves break down calcium deposits and reduce the pain signaling that keeps a chronic injury feeling chronic.
This is repair, not masking. We are not numbing the pain. We are giving the tissue the stimulus it needs to finish recovering.
What It Treats
If your injury has lasted months and has not responded to the usual care, it is often a good candidate for shockwave. We will tell you honestly during your consultation.
What To Expect
We assess the injured area and find the exact tissue driving your pain before we treat anything.
The applicator delivers acoustic waves to the area for about five to ten minutes. You will feel a firm tapping and some pressure. Most patients tolerate it easily.
There is no downtime. You may feel mild soreness for a day as the tissue responds. Normal activity is fine.
Most conditions respond best to a short series of sessions, typically three to six, spaced about a week apart. Many patients notice change within the first few visits.

"I had a torn meniscus. Doctors only wanted to go toward surgery. I decided to try natural treatments. One was Dr. Cheshire. Within 4 treatments it was healed, and I was able to get back to my walking exercises. Excellent."
