Shockwave Therapy Near Me – Boulder, CO

Shockwave Therapy Near Me – Boulder, CO

If you’ve been struggling with a stubborn injury that just won’t heal, shockwave therapy could be the missing piece in your recovery.
At Boulder Sports Clinic, we use advanced radial shockwave therapy to stimulate tissue healing, relieve chronic pain, and restore mobility — helping active individuals and athletes in Boulder get back to what they love faster.

⚙️ What Is Radial Shockwave Therapy?

Radial shockwave therapy (also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy or ESWT) delivers high-energy acoustic sound waves into injured tissue.
These sound waves create controlled microtrauma that stimulates the body’s natural healing response — increasing blood flow, breaking down scar tissue, and promoting new cell growth in stubborn or chronic injuries.

Unlike medications or injections that only mask symptoms, shockwave therapy treats the root cause by helping your body regenerate damaged tissue.

💪 Conditions Shockwave Therapy Can Help

Shockwave therapy is ideal for both chronic and acute musculoskeletal injuries, particularly where tendons and soft tissues are slow to heal.

At Boulder Sports Clinic, we commonly use radial shockwave therapy to treat:

  • Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
  • Achilles tendinopathy
  • Tennis or golfer’s elbow (epicondylitis)
  • Shoulder tendinitis or calcific tendonitis
  • Patellar tendinitis (“jumper’s knee”)
  • Hip pain / gluteal tendinopathy
  • Chronic muscle tension or scar tissue buildup
  • Shin splints and IT band syndrome

Because it improves blood flow and tissue regeneration, shockwave can also help accelerate post-surgical recovery or chronic pain from overuse injuries.

🩺 What to Expect During a Shockwave Treatment

Each shockwave therapy session at Boulder Sports Clinic is quick and efficient — typically lasting about 10 minutes.
During your treatment:

  1. A gel is applied to the treatment area to transmit the acoustic waves.
  2. The handheld radial shockwave device is moved across the area in a circular motion.
  3. You’ll feel a series of tapping or pulsing sensations as the sound waves penetrate the tissue.

Most patients describe the sensation as uncomfortable but tolerable — and notice relief after just a few sessions.

📅 Typical Treatment Plan

  • Average number of sessions: 6-10
  • Frequency: Once per week
  • Duration: 10–15 minutes per treatment

Because the healing process continues after each session, patients often report improvement even weeks after their last appointment.
For chronic injuries, your provider may recommend combining shockwave therapy with other recovery tools to speed up results.

🧩 Integrated Healing: Combining Shockwave with Other Therapies

At Boulder Sports Clinic, we take a whole-body approach to recovery.
Before starting treatment, our team will perform a thorough exam to determine whether shockwave therapy alone or a combination of therapies is best for your condition.

Complementary treatments may include:

  • Chiropractic Adjustments – to restore joint alignment and reduce compensations.
  • Massage Therapy – to break up scar tissue and improve circulation in tight muscles.
  • Physical Therapy – to strengthen and stabilize the area after mobility is restored.
  • Laser Therapy or Dry Needling – to further accelerate tissue healing and reduce inflammation.

By personalizing your care plan, we help you heal faster and more completely — so you can get back to running, lifting, or living without pain.
