Question 1

What is shockwave therapy?

Accepted Answer

Shockwave therapy (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy / ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. It promotes the production of collagen, breaks down calcifications, and increases blood flow to injured areas — helping treat chronic tendon pain, heel pain, and sports injuries without surgery.

Question 2

What conditions does shockwave therapy treat?

Accepted Answer

Shockwave therapy effectively treats a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions including: plantar fasciitis (heel pain), Achilles tendonitis, patellar tendonitis (knee), rotator cuff tendinopathy (shoulder), tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis), calcific tendonitis, hamstring tendinopathy, and chronic muscle trigger points.

Question 3

How many shockwave therapy sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

Most patients see significant improvement in 3–6 sessions, typically spaced 1–2 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the severity and chronicity of your condition. Many patients feel relief after the very first session, though the full therapeutic effect develops over several weeks as the tissue heals.

Question 4

Is shockwave therapy painful?

Accepted Answer

Shockwave therapy can feel mildly uncomfortable during the session — patients often describe a tapping or pulsing sensation. Intensity is adjusted to your comfort level. There is typically minimal to no downtime after treatment. Some patients experience mild soreness for 24–48 hours post-session, which is a normal part of the healing response.

Question 6

Is shockwave therapy covered by insurance?

Accepted Answer

Insurance coverage for shockwave therapy varies by plan. While some insurance plans cover ESWT for specific conditions like plantar fasciitis, many consider it elective. Our team at SureCure Wellness can help you understand your coverage options. We also offer flexible payment plans to make treatment accessible.

Question 7

How does shockwave therapy differ from ultrasound therapy?

Accepted Answer

While both use sound waves, shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic pressure waves that create a strong mechanical stimulus to break down calcifications and trigger tissue regeneration. Therapeutic ultrasound uses lower-intensity waves primarily for gentle tissue warming. Shockwave therapy is generally more effective for chronic tendon conditions and calcific deposits.

Question 8

Can shockwave therapy help with plantar fasciitis heel pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Shockwave therapy is one of the most effective treatments for chronic plantar fasciitis. Clinical studies show success rates of 60–80% in patients who have not responded to conservative treatments. At SureCure Wellness in Carrollton, TX, our therapists use focused shockwave technology to target the heel and fascia, providing lasting relief from heel pain.
