SHOCKWAVE Therapy
MOVE BETTER. RECOVER FASTER.
Radial Pulse Shockwave Therapy uses targeted mechanical energy to stimulate the body’s natural healing response improving circulation, reducing pain, and supporting the recovery of muscles and tendons.
It can be especially helpful for persistent and chronic tendon and muscle pain, myofascial tension, and other musculoskeletal conditions—making it a powerful addition to your physical therapy and recovery routine.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Zimmer USA’s Radial Pulse Shockwave Therapy (enPuls Softshot Technology) is a non-invasive treatment that delivers controlled acoustic waves to targeted tissues. This mechanical stimulation can trigger biological responses through a process called mechanotransduction, which may influence pain signaling, circulation, cellular activity, and tissue remodeling.
For the right patient and condition, shockwave therapy can help reduce pain, improve function, and improve tolerance to exercise and progressive loading.
What Can Shockwave Help Treat?
Shockwave has been studied most extensively for persistent tendon and musculoskeletal conditions, including:
Plantar heel pain / plantar fasciopathy
Patellar tendinopathy
Gluteal tendinopathy and greater trochanteric pain
Proximal hamstring tendinopathy
Calcific rotator cuff tendinopathy
Other persistent tendon and soft-tissue conditions
Hip flexor tendonitis
Flexor hallicus longus tendonitis (aka dancer's tendonitis)
Chronic hamstring strain/injury
Tennis elbow
Golfers elbow
Shockwave + Physical Therapy
Don’t view shockwave as a replacement for exercise or rehabilitation.
Instead, shockwave can be used alongside progressive strengthening, mobility, movement retraining, and sport- or performance-specific rehabilitation. By helping manage symptoms and potentially support tissue remodeling, shockwave may help you better tolerate the progressive loading needed to return to the activities you love.
Less pain. Better movement. A faster path back to doing what you love.
