focused shockwave therapy
Non-invasive Focused Shockwave therapy is designed to help reduce chronic pain, improve healing, and get you back to the activities you love.
At North State Sport & Spine, we use advanced acoustic wave technology to help treat plantar fasciitis, shoulder pain, tendon injuries, golfer’s elbow, tennis elbow, Achilles pain, chronic lower back pain, and more - without surgery or downtime.
what is shockwave therapy?
Shockwave Therapy uses targeted acoustic wave technology to stimulate your body’s natural healing response. The treatment helps increase circulation, break down scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and encourage tissue regeneration.
This therapy is commonly used for chronic musculoskeletal pain and stubborn injuries that have not responded well to rest, stretching, medications, or traditional therapies.
Treatments are quick, non-invasive, and require little to no downtime.

The Science Behind Shockwave Therapy
HOW IT WORKS:
Step 1 | Stimulates Blood Flow
Shockwave therapy helps create the formation of new blood vessels.
Step 2 | Activates Healing Response
The soundwaves activate neighboring stem cells and growth factors to help repair the injured area.
Step 3 | Supports Long-Term Recovery
This regenerative process accelerates healing and promotes a healthier and strong tissue/bone.
RESEARCH SHOWS SHOCKWAVE THERAPY MAY HELP:
Increase microcirculation
Support nitric oxide release
Promote collagen production
Stimulate stem cell activity
Encourage tissue regeneration
Improve blood vessel formation
Reduce chronic inflammation
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING TREATMENT:
Most appointments are quick and straightforward. During your session, a provider will apply the shockwave device to the treatment area while delivering targeted acoustic pulses.
Treatment plans vary depending on the condition being treated, but many patients begin noticing improvement after several sessions.
Most patients are able to return to normal daily activity immediately after treatment.
