Focused Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to precisely target areas of injured, irritated, or painful tissue. Unlike treatments that primarily address discomfort at the surface, focused shockwaves can deliver energy into deeper tissues where chronic irritation, injury, or degeneration may be contributing to pain and limited function.
This targeted energy is designed to stimulate biological responses within the treatment area that may help improve circulation, support tissue repair, reduce pain, and promote recovery—all without injections or surgery.
At The Arne Clinic, Focused Shockwave Therapy is used as part of a whole-body approach to help patients address stubborn musculoskeletal problems, improve mobility, and return to the activities they enjoy.
Request AppointmentWhen an injury becomes chronic, the normal healing process can sometimes slow or stall. Poor circulation, repetitive stress, tissue changes, and ongoing irritation may contribute to persistent pain and reduced function.
Focused acoustic waves deliver mechanical energy into the targeted tissue, stimulating biological responses that may help restart and support the healing process.
Focused Shockwave Therapy may help:
Rather than simply masking discomfort, the goal of Focused Shockwave Therapy is to stimulate the tissues involved in the problem and support longer-term recovery and function.
Focused Shockwave Therapy may be especially helpful for people dealing with persistent musculoskeletal pain or injuries that have been slow to improve with rest or other conservative approaches.
It may be considered for individuals experiencing:
Because the source and severity of pain can vary significantly from person to person, our team will evaluate your condition to determine whether Focused Shockwave Therapy may be appropriate for you.

Before treatment, our team will evaluate the area of concern and identify the tissues that will be targeted during your session.
A handheld applicator is positioned over the treatment area and delivers a series of focused acoustic pulses into the tissue. You will typically feel repetitive tapping or pulsing sensations during treatment. Intensity can be adjusted based on the area being treated and your comfort level.
Treatments are performed without injections or anesthesia, and there is typically little downtime afterward.
The number and frequency of sessions will depend on the condition being addressed, how long the problem has been present, and your individual response to treatment.
Focused Shockwave Therapy can be incorporated alongside other therapies at The Arne Clinic as part of a broader approach to improving movement, reducing discomfort, and supporting recovery.
Depending on your individual needs, your care plan may also include:
Our goal is not simply to chase symptoms, but to identify the factors contributing to pain and impaired function and provide therapies that support the body’s ability to recover.
If you are dealing with persistent pain, a stubborn tendon or soft-tissue injury, or a problem that has not responded as well as expected to other conservative approaches, Focused Shockwave Therapy may provide another option for supporting recovery.
