Are you facing pelvic health or orthopedic challenges and seeking an innovative solution for recovery?
At Elevate Physical Therapy, we offer Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) to promote healing, reduce pain and support your journey to renewed strength and well-being.
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment that promotes healing in soft tissue, bone, joints and muscles. Utilizing shock waves to stimulate a cellular response, ESWT activates the body’s natural healing processes, offering transformative benefits such as increased blood flow, tissue regeneration and reduced inflammation.
ESWT delivers high-energy sound waves that stimulate collagen production, angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and nerve regeneration, while also restoring tissue elasticity. At Elevate Physical Therapy, we incorporate ESWT into our personalized care plans to address both pelvic health and general orthopedic issues to provide a safe and effective path to recovery.
Shockwave Therapy for Orthopedic Conditions
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy’s ability to promote healing in tendons, muscles, bones and joints makes it an advantageous treatment for various orthopedic issues. It is highly effective for injuries and chronic conditions, especially those affecting mobility and function around the pelvis. By reducing inflammation, stimulating tissue repair and relaxing tight muscles, ESWT helps restore comfort and flexibility.
Orthopedic Conditions treated with Shockwave Therapy include:
- Plantar fasciitis and chronic foot pain
- Tendon conditions such as Achilles, patella and hamstring injuries
- Bone injuries, including stress fractures
- Joint pain from inflammation or wear and tear
Shockwave Therapy for Women’s Pelvic Health
Women experiencing pelvic floor dysfunctions often face issues such as chronic pain, muscle tension, sexual dysfunction or urinary incontinence. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy offers a safe, effective way to alleviate symptoms and support recovery. Key benefits for women’s pelvic health include:
- Tissue regeneration: Promotes collagen production and blood vessel formation to repair damaged tissues and improve function
- Pain reduction: Reduces inflammation and disrupts pain receptor activity
- Muscle relaxation: Relieves tension in overactive pelvic floor muscles
ESWT is particularly effective for:
- Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS): Relieves pain, improves bladder function and enhances quality of life
- Dyspareunia (painful intercourse): Reduces discomfort by relaxing muscles and reducing tension
- Urinary incontinence: Aides in strengthening the pelvic floor muscles to reduce symptoms
- Perimenopause/menopause vaginal symptoms: including vaginal atrophy, dryness and sexual dysfunction
At Elevate Physical Therapy, we use shockwave therapy as well as targeted pelvic floor exercises and manual therapy to restore function and comfort for women.
Shockwave Therapy for Men’s Pelvic Health
Men’s pelvic health can benefit significantly from Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy, especially for conditions involving chronic pain, tension or vascular issues. The therapy’s benefits for men include enhanced blood flow, nerve regeneration and muscle relaxation, making it a highly effective treatment for:
- Erectile Dysfunction (ED): Improves erectile function by addressing vascular and muscular causes
- Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS): Reduces inflammation and relieves persistent pelvic pain
- Urinary incontinence: Aides in strengthening the pelvic floor muscles to reduce symptoms
We provide compassionate, one-on-one care to help men regain confidence and function through shockwave therapy for pelvic health and other complementary therapies.
