Shock Wave Therapy

Shock Wave Therapy is a regenerative medicine technique that is used to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Shock Wave Therapy (SWT) involves the delivery of sound waves via an electromagnetic handpiece or a pneumatic handpiece to deliver high-pressure peak energy to superficial and deep tissues for therapeutic effect to improve blood flow, activate connective tissue, stimulate stem cells, and reduce pain. Here at Renew Physical Therapy & Pilates, we use the Chattanooga Focus Shock Wave Therapy unit and the Storz Medical Radial Shock Wave Therapy unit. SWT has been in use in the medical community since the 1980s with much research internationally. In the United States, the use of SWT for plantar fasciitis and lateral tennis elbow is FDA approved. Based on the same principles of soft tissue healing, the use of SWT can be therapeutic in treating many other soft tissue issues. The Focus SWT unit allows for the treatment depth to go from superficial (3 cm depth) to as deep as 12.5 cm to treat many issues. The Radial SWT unit can treat more superficial (up to 4.5 cm depth) and a broader area of tissues. Come in to see what SWT can do for you!

Client Testimonials

Joleen is simply the best! I always leave a session with her feeling stronger, more confident in my understanding of how my body works, and empowered to practice movement at home. She takes the time to really help me understand the mechanics of movement, and she always has a clever descriptor to help me visualize what my body position should be. I am motivated by Joleen’s guidance to want to keep getting stronger and more aware of all aspects of how my body and spirit are intertwined. The variety of equipment in the studio keeps things interesting and challenging. Joleen has truly changed my life for the better!
