Shockwave Therapy — Frequently Asked Questions
Is shockwave therapy painful?
Most patients describe the sensation as a rapid tapping or pulsing feeling at the treatment site. Some mild discomfort may occur during the session, particularly over tender areas, but it is generally well-tolerated. Each session lasts only 15 to 20 minutes, and any discomfort subsides quickly after treatment. Dr. Hamidi adjusts the intensity based on your comfort level.
How many shockwave therapy sessions will I need?
Most conditions respond well to three to six sessions, spaced one week apart. Some patients experience noticeable improvement after just one or two treatments. Dr. Hamidi will evaluate your specific condition during your initial consultation at District Wellness and recommend a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
What conditions does shockwave therapy treat best?
Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for chronic soft tissue conditions that have not responded to other treatments, including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, shoulder tendinitis, and chronic muscle trigger points. It works by stimulating your body's natural healing response and increasing blood flow to the injured area.
Are there any side effects of shockwave therapy?
Side effects are minimal and temporary. Some patients experience mild redness, swelling, or soreness at the treatment site for one to two days after a session. These are normal signs that the therapy is stimulating the healing process. There is no downtime required, and most patients return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.
