Shockwave Therapy -
Fast Relief, Long-Lasting Results
Shockwave therapy is an advanced, non-invasive treatment designed to stimulate healing, reduce pain, and restore function in injured or stubborn tissues. By delivering high-energy acoustic waves into the body, shockwave therapy increases blood flow, breaks down scar tissue and calcifications, and jump-starts the body’s natural healing response.
It’s especially effective for chronic pain, tendon injuries, soft-tissue dysfunction, and conditions that haven’t responded to traditional care.
Focused Shockwave Therapy
Focused shockwave delivers a highly targeted, deeper-penetrating energy wave to precise tissue structures. This makes it ideal for deep or chronic injuries, such as:
-
Plantar fasciitis
-
Achilles and patellar tendinopathy
-
Hip, shoulder, and deep joint pain
-
Chronic soft-tissue injuries and calcifications
Focused shockwave is extremely precise, allowing us to treat specific problem areas with maximum effectiveness.
Radial Shockwave Therapy
Radial shockwave disperses energy more broadly across superficial tissues. It’s excellent for muscle pain, myofascial restrictions, and larger treatment areas, including:
-
Muscle tightness and trigger points
-
Tendon and soft-tissue pain
-
Post-workout or overuse soreness
-
Sports and activity-related muscle injuries
Radial shockwave is often more comfortable and is ideal for improving tissue quality and mobility.
Why We Use Both
Most clinics offer only one type of shockwave therapy. We offer both focused and radial shockwave so your treatment can be customized to your specific injury, depth, and goals.
Some conditions require deep, pinpoint precision. Others respond better to broader, surface-level treatment. Many patients benefit from a combination of both.
By having access to both technologies, we’re able to deliver more accurate care, faster results, and better long-term outcomes—treating every patient like an athlete, whether you’re a weekend warrior or a high-level competitor.

Tennis Elbow & Golfer’s Elbow
-
Rotator Cuff Tendinitis & Shoulder Pain
-
Patellar Tendinopathy (Jumper’s Knee)

AND MORE
Why Shockwave with Peak Sports Chiropractic & Recovery?
We’ve invested in the most advanced shockwave technology available so we can deliver faster, more precise, and more effective results—no matter the condition or depth of injury.
Our clinic now offers both focused and radial shockwave therapy, powered by two of the most respected systems in the world: the DUOLITH® SD1 T-TOP Ultra by Storz Medical and the RPW2 by Chattanooga.
This combination allows us to fully customize your care—something most clinics simply cannot do.
The Gold Standard: DUOLITH® SD1 T-TOP Ultra
The DUOLITH® system is widely regarded as the gold standard in focused shockwave therapy. It delivers high-energy acoustic waves with pinpoint accuracy to deep tissues that are difficult to reach with other treatments.
Focused shockwave is ideal for:
-
Chronic tendon injuries (Achilles, patellar, plantar fascia)
-
Deep joint and soft-tissue pain
-
Calcifications and long-standing scar tissue
-
Conditions that haven’t responded to rest, injections, or traditional care
This technology allows us to treat the exact source of pain, not just the symptoms—making it especially effective for stubborn, chronic conditions.
Precision Meets Power: Chattanooga RPW2 Radial Shockwave
The Chattanooga RPW2 adds a critical layer to our shockwave offerings by delivering radial pressure wave therapy. Unlike focused shockwave, radial therapy spreads energy over a wider area, making it perfect for superficial tissues and muscle-based conditions.
Radial shockwave excels at:
-
Muscle tightness and trigger points
-
Myofascial pain and restrictions
-
Tendon irritation and overuse injuries
-
Sports-related soreness and recovery
It’s highly effective, well tolerated, and ideal for improving tissue quality and mobility across larger regions.
