When We Recommend Shockwave Therapy in Overland Park

Shockwave Therapy can be a helpful option for stubborn tendon pain and slow-to-resolve soft tissue irritation. In our Overland Park clinic, we use Shockwave Therapy as part of a broader movement-based system rather than as a standalone treatment.

It is most effective when paired with mobility restoration and progressive rehab.

Conditions We Commonly Use Shockwave Therapy For

• Plantar fasciitis
• Achilles tendinopathy
• Hamstring and gluteal tendon pain
• Chronic muscle-tendon adhesions

When Shockwave Therapy Is Not the First Choice

We typically do not recommend Shockwave Therapy for:

• Acute inflammatory pain
• Nerve-dominant symptoms
• Instability-driven movement problems

In those situations, movement retraining and stabilization come first.
