What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. These powerful sound waves penetrate deep into affected areas, triggering your body's natural repair mechanisms and promoting regeneration of damaged tendons, ligaments, and muscles.
At Move Muscle & Joint in Overland Park, Dr. Joseph Hugunin uses state-of-the-art shockwave technology to treat chronic pain conditions and sports injuries that haven't responded to traditional therapies. The treatment works by increasing blood flow, breaking down scar tissue, and stimulating the production of collagen—the building block of healthy connective tissue.
This FDA-cleared therapy is particularly effective for tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and other chronic musculoskeletal conditions. With no downtime and minimal side effects, shockwave therapy offers a powerful alternative to surgery and long-term medication use. We proudly serve patients throughout Overland Park, Leawood, Prairie Village, and the Kansas City metro area.
