At Ascent Health & Performance, we combine evidence-based focused shockwave therapy with movement-based rehab to help reduce pain, improve tissue healing, and restore movement in stubborn injuries.
Precision-targeted treatment
Built into recovery plans
No injections or downtime
Premium focused technology
Guided by research
We believe pricing should be simple and transparent. Whether you're dealing with chronic tendon pain, plantar fasciitis, or a stubborn injury that won't heal, our focused shockwave therapy packages are designed to provide the consistency needed for the best possible outcomes.
Focused shockwave therapy delivers targeted acoustic energy to injured tissues, helping stimulate healing in chronic tendon, fascia, and soft tissue injuries. Every treatment is paired with movement-based rehab to support long-term recovery.
Most tendon, fascia, and chronic overuse injuries respond best to a series of treatments combined with progressive loading and rehab.
Focused Shockwave Therapy is most effective for stubborn tendon, fascia, ligament, and soft tissue conditions that haven't responded to rest, stretching, injections, or traditional treatment approaches.
If you're dealing with a condition not listed below, contact us. We may still be able to help.
Focused Shockwave Therapy is used for a wide variety of chronic tendon, fascia, ligament, and soft tissue conditions. We've also worked with patients dealing with post-surgical scar tissue, C-section scars, and delayed healing injuries. Schedule an evaluation and we'll determine whether shockwave therapy is the right fit for your situation.
Focused shockwave therapy is most effective for chronic tendon, fascia, ligament, and soft tissue conditions that have been slow to heal with rest, stretching, injections, or traditional treatment approaches. If any of the following sound familiar, shockwave therapy may be worth considering.
The best way to know whether shockwave therapy is right for you is through an evaluation. We'll discuss your goals, review previous treatment attempts, and determine whether you're likely to benefit from treatment.

Focused Shockwave Therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured tendons, fascia, ligaments, and other soft tissues. Unlike treatments that simply mask pain, shockwave therapy helps trigger the body's natural repair processes by delivering precise mechanical energy directly into damaged tissue.
Focused acoustic energy creates a controlled mechanical stimulus within damaged tissue. This encourages increased cellular activity and helps restart healing in areas that have become stalled.
Chronic tendon and fascia injuries often have poor circulation. Shockwave therapy encourages improved local blood flow, helping deliver oxygen and nutrients needed for tissue repair.
Shockwave therapy may help decrease pain sensitivity while addressing the underlying tissue dysfunction contributing to symptoms.
Shockwave stimulates healing. Rehab restores capacity. Together, they help you return to activity—not just temporarily reduce pain.
Chronic injuries rarely develop overnight—and they rarely resolve overnight. Most patients see the best results from a series of treatments paired with progressive loading and rehabilitation.
Schedule an EvaluationBoth focused and radial shockwave can be effective. We chose focused shockwave because it allows us to target specific injured tissues with greater precision. For chronic tendon injuries, plantar fasciitis, scar tissue, and other stubborn conditions, that precision can matter.
Focused Shockwave isn't necessarily better than radial shockwave - it's simply a different tool designed for different problems.
Focused shockwave allows us to target specific injured tissues rather than treating a broad area. For chronic tendon, fascia, and scar tissue injuries, precision can matter.
When rest, stretching, massage, medications, or injections haven't provided lasting relief, focused shockwave may help stimulate healing and support recovery.
Every treatment is paired with movement assessment, hands-on care, and rehabilitation to help you recover, move better, and stay active.
We chose focused shockwave because it aligns with how we practice.
Rather than chasing symptoms, we identify the injured tissue, evaluate how the body is moving around it, and build a plan to restore function. Focused shockwave gives us another tool to help stubborn injuries heal, but the best results happen when it's combined with movement assessment, hands-on care, and progressive rehabilitation.
Pain relief is only the first step.
The real goal is getting back to the activities, adventures, and experiences that make life enjoyable.
That's why every treatment plan is built around movement, function, and long-term success.
Most patients describe focused shockwave therapy as unusual rather than painful. The sensation varies depending on the tissue being treated, but treatments are brief, highly targeted, and adjusted to your comfort level.
Healthy or mildly irritated tissue is often comfortable to treat and may feel similar to a massage gun focused on a small area.
Sensitive areas often become less reactive as treatment progresses.
Mild soreness for 24–48 hours can occur as healing begins.
Treatment intensity will be adjusted based on your comfort level throughout the session.
Shockwave Therapy FAQStill have questions? Here are some of the most common things patients ask before starting focused shockwave therapy.
Does shockwave therapy hurt?+Most patients describe focused shockwave therapy as unusual rather than painful. Healthy tissue is often comfortable to treat, while injured areas can feel more sensitive. Treatment intensity can be adjusted throughout the session based on your comfort level.
How many sessions will I need?+Most patients require a series of treatments rather than a single visit. Depending on the condition, treatment plans often range from 4–12 sessions combined with movement-based rehabilitation.
How quickly will I notice results?+Some patients notice improvement after their first session, while others experience gradual changes over several weeks. Chronic injuries that have been present for months or years typically require more time than newer injuries.
What conditions respond best to shockwave therapy?+Focused shockwave therapy is commonly used for chronic tendon injuries, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, tennis elbow, calcific tendinitis, gluteal tendinopathy, scar tissue restrictions, and other stubborn soft tissue conditions.
How many visits will I need?+Every patient and condition is different. Treatment recommendations are based on your symptoms, goals, activity level, and response to care. We focus on clear communication and individualized planning rather than predetermined schedules.
Why do you combine shockwave therapy with rehab?+Shockwave therapy helps stimulate healing. Rehabilitation helps that healing tissue regain strength, mobility, and load tolerance. Combining the two often produces better long-term results than either approach alone.
Is shockwave therapy covered by insurance?+In most cases, focused shockwave therapy is considered a cash-pay service and is not covered by insurance plans. We provide transparent package pricing and will discuss all costs before beginning treatment.
Can shockwave help me avoid injections or surgery?+While no treatment can guarantee surgery avoidance, shockwave therapy is often used as a conservative option before considering more invasive interventions. Many patients pursue shockwave when rest, stretching, medication, injections, or traditional therapy have not provided lasting relief.
What if I'm not sure whether I'm a good candidate?+The best place to start is with an evaluation. We'll review your history, goals, previous treatments, and current condition to determine whether focused shockwave therapy is appropriate for you.
READY TO GET BACK TO WHAT YOU LOVE?Get Back to the Activities That Matter MostWhether you've been dealing with plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, Achilles pain, trigger finger, or another stubborn tendon injury, focused shockwave therapy may help you heal, move better, and return to the activities that matter most.
