The First Thing Lady Lake Asks
How much does shockwave therapy cost for Lady Lake patients, and what does insurance cover?
"Shockwave therapy cost per session" and "how many sessions" are the two most typed questions about ESWT. Here they are up front.
Priced per session
Shockwave is a self pay service priced per session. We quote the full course at the free consultation so Lady Lake patients know the total before the first visit. No packages, no memberships.
Three to five for an elbow
Tennis and golfer's elbow usually need three to five weekly sessions. Achilles, shoulders and hips run four to six. The tendon keeps improving for weeks after the last one.
Insurance and Medicare
Neither covers ESWT, here or almost anywhere in the US. If acupuncture or needling is part of your plan, many insurance plans cover those visits and we check yours first.
Insurance and payment details.
For reference, consumer cost guides put a single acupuncture visit in the United States at roughly $50 to $150, and we quote your own course in writing at the free consultation. Source: Money.com guide to alternative medicine costs.
ESWT For Tennis Elbow
Why an elbow that rested for months still hurts.
Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow are tendinopathy at the point where the forearm tendons attach to the bone. After a few months the tendon is no longer inflamed; it has stopped remodelling. Rest calms it, and the first week back to normal use brings it straight back. Bracing and ice treat a problem the tendon no longer has.
Shockwave delivers acoustic pressure waves into the attachment, which the tendon reads as a new, controlled injury. Blood vessels grow back in, collagen-producing cells switch on, and the repair that stalled restarts. The elbow is shallow and easy to target, which is one reason it responds so reliably.
Most Lady Lake patients keep using the arm through the series with small adjustments. Tendons rebuild in response to load; we tell you how much. Full tennis and golfer's elbow page.
Beyond The Elbow
What else ESWT is used for near Lady Lake.
Orthopedic tendon and fascia problems only. We do not offer shockwave for erectile dysfunction or kidney stones, which are different devices and different clinics.
A Session
Ten minutes, then back to Lady Lake.
Find the spot
Dr. Cheshire examines the elbow and the forearm muscles pulling on it, then marks the tendon attachment. Gel goes on.
Five to ten minutes of tapping
A firm, rapid pulse through the applicator. You feel it. The intensity is adjustable and most people tolerate it easily.
Walk out
No downtime. Expect the elbow to be sore for a day; that is the response we want.
Same time next week
Three to five sessions, with a loading program between them. Needling the forearm in the same visit is common.
Is This You, Lady Lake?
ESWT is likely to help if:
- The elbow, heel, Achilles or shoulder has hurt for three months or more.
- Rest, a brace, stretching or a cortisone shot gave temporary relief at best.
- Gripping, lifting a kettle or the first steps in the morning are the worst moments.
- You want to keep playing while it heals.
- You would rather rebuild the tendon than numb it.
We screen first. No shockwave over infection, fresh fracture, open growth plates or tumors; extra care with blood thinners. If your pain is a nerve or a joint surface, shockwave is the wrong tool and we say so.
