Shockwave Therapy in Overland Park, KS
If rest, ice, or stretching hasn’t helped, our shockwave therapy in Overland Park jump-starts healing for stubborn tendon and fascia pain. We see athletes from Indian Creek Trail, weekend warriors at Chicken N Pickle, and desk workers from Corporate Woods who want to move without nagging pain.
How Shockwave Therapy Works
Shockwave therapy uses short bursts of high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. These sound waves don’t break the skin — instead, they travel through the surface and reach sore tendons, ligaments, and fascia underneath.
When the waves hit these tissues, they:
- Increase blood flow → bringing oxygen and nutrients to areas that normally heal slowly, like the plantar fascia or Achilles tendon.
- Break up adhesions or calcium deposits → reducing stiffness and irritation that can keep pain lingering.
- Stimulate natural healing cells → encouraging the body to repair tiny micro-injuries in tendon fibers.
- Reduce pain signals → calming overactive nerve endings so movement feels more comfortable.
Most sessions last just a few minutes, and many patients notice relief within a few visits. Because it’s non-invasive, there are no needles, medications, or downtime — you can often go right back to daily activities after treatment.
Conditions Commonly Treated
- Runners in Olathe with heel pain or Achilles irritation
- Pickleball athletes in Leawood and Prairie Village with elbow or shoulder tendon pain
- Teachers and professionals in Shawnee and Lenexa who stand all day and develop plantar fascia pain
- Patients across Johnson County who haven’t improved with rest, medication, or orthotics
According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, and extracorporeal shockwave therapy is often recommended when conservative treatments fail.

Is myofascial release safe?
Yes. Myofascial release is a gentle, hands-on therapy that most people tolerate very well. If we find something that requires further evaluation, we’ll recommend appropriate next steps.
