Chronic tendon injuries and joint pain can be difficult to heal, often leading to long-term discomfort and reduced mobility. Shockwave therapy is an advanced, non-invasive regenerative treatment designed to stimulate tissue repair, reduce pain, and enhance mobility without the need for surgery or prolonged medication use.
At OrthoGen Health, our expert team offers shockwave therapy for chronic tendon and musculoskeletal pain, providing an effective alternative to steroid injections and invasive procedures.
“Someone referred me to this place because i had a very bad knee pain which multiple other doctors i visited, told me have to have an open surgery but Dr.James told me can do PRP which is much easier and safer. I thought it worth trying it. After almost 2 years, i still have no pain and i got back to normal life. I am so glad listen to Dr, James and for your info i think he has one of the highest certificates that only a few doctors in the US have it.
He is so kind and acknowledgeable and i definitely recommend anyone who has joint pain before letting others to have any open surgeries which obviously they want nothing but making money.Thanks you for making the life enjoyable for me again.”

How Shockwave Therapy Works
Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing, improve circulation, and break down scar tissue in damaged areas. This process enhances the body’s natural repair mechanisms and accelerates tissue regeneration.
The Shockwave Therapy Process
- Application of Acoustic Waves: A specialized device delivers targeted shockwaves to the injured tissue.
- Stimulation of Cellular Repair: The waves increase blood flow, stimulate collagen production, and activate healing factors.
- Reduction of Pain & Inflammation: Over time, tissue repair leads to reduced inflammation and improved function.
Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for chronic soft tissue injuries and musculoskeletal pain, including:
- Tendonitis & Tendon Injuries: Stimulates healing in rotator cuff, Achilles, and patellar tendons.
- Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Pain: Helps break down calcifications and improve foot function.
- Tennis & Golfer’s Elbow: Reduces inflammation and promotes elbow tendon regeneration.
- Knee, Hip & Shoulder Pain: Enhances joint mobility and reduces chronic pain.
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy for Chronic Pain
Shockwave therapy provides a non-invasive, drug-free approach to musculoskeletal healing, with benefits such as:
Accelerated Tissue Regeneration
Stimulates new collagen production, promoting long-term healing.
Reduced Pain & Inflammation
Helps regulate chronic swelling and discomfort.
Non-Surgical & Safe
Requires no incisions or recovery downtime, making it an excellent alternative to surgery.
Improved Mobility & Function
Restores movement and flexibility in damaged tissues.
