The Science Behind Shockwave
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy delivers high-energy acoustic pulses to damaged tissue, creating controlled
micro-traumas that breaks down scar tissue and releases tension. This restarts your body’s natural healing response by increasing blood flow and stimulating collagen production, allowing tissue to regenerate where it matters most.
Conditions Shockwave Treats
Shockwave therapy can be applied across multiple pain conditions
“I recently went through Laser/EMTT/Shockwave therapy for my shoulders as I have rotator cuff tears and arthritis. Not only was the technician informative and proficient, she made the process much easier. The benefits have certainly outweighed the discomfort during portions of the treatment which include: elimination of sharp pains I was experiencing from my condition, greater endurance in my activities, and greater ability to perform flexibility and strengthening exercises.”

Recovery
Your path to recovery
Shockwave therapy works with your body’s own healing mechanisms. The process is simple.
Initial assessment and imaging
Ultrasound imaging pinpoints the exact location of damaged tissue and guides treatment precision.
Focused treatment sessions begin
Weekly 40 to 60 minute sessions deliver acoustic pulses described as a deep tapping sensation that subsides quickly.
Tissue regeneration takes hold
Over 4 to 6 weeks, your body builds new blood vessels and repairs tissue, delivering lasting relief.
Questions
Get answers about shockwave therapy and what recovery looks like for you.
Is shockwave therapy painful?
The procedure itself is well tolerated. Most patients feel mild discomfort during treatment, similar to a tapping sensation. The entire session typically lasts 30 to 40 minutes.
How many sessions do I need?
Treatment plans vary based on your condition and severity. Most patients benefit from three to five sessions spaced one to two weeks apart. Dr. Cherubini will outline your specific protocol during your discovery call.
When can I return to activity?
Light activity requires no downtime. Most patients return to normal routines within a few days. Strenuous exercise should wait two to three weeks to allow healing to progress without interruption.
Does insurance cover shockwave therapy?
Most insurance plans do not cover regenerative treatments. However, evaluations and treatment plans can often be billed to insurance.
What makes shockwave different?
Shockwave therapy regenerates tissue rather than masking pain. The acoustic pulses stimulate your body’s natural healing response without surgery or medications. Results improve over months as new tissue forms and function returns.
