Precision Healing for Deep Tissue and Chronic Injuries

Focused Shockwave Therapy is an advanced, FDA-cleared treatment designed to target deep musculoskeletal injuries with pinpoint accuracy. Using high-intensity acoustic waves, this non-invasive therapy triggers tissue regeneration, increases blood flow, and stimulates long-term healing—all without the need for surgery or extended downtime.

At Regen3, we use Focused Shockwave Therapy to treat complex, hard-to-reach injuries that don’t respond well to traditional methods—helping you recover faster and move more freely.

What Is Focused Shockwave Therapy?

Unlike Radial Pressure Waves, which disperse energy over a wider surface, Focused Shockwave Therapy uses a water-based transducer to deliver highly concentrated acoustic waves deep into the tissue—reaching structures like bone, fascia, ligaments, and joint capsules.

This allows us to target chronic injuries with greater precision and effectiveness, making it ideal for treating long-standing or deep-seated conditions.

Conditions That Focused Shockwave Therapy Can Address

Focused Shockwave Therapy is highly effective for a range of chronic musculoskeletal injuries, including:

Foot & Ankle:

  • Chronic plantar fasciitis

  • Achilles tendinosis

  • Heel spurs

Knees:

  • Jumper’s knee (patellar tendonitis)

  • Meniscal injuries

  • Knee osteoarthritis

Hips:

  • Deep gluteal syndrome

  • Femoral acetabular impingement (FAI)

  • Tendinopathy around the hip joint

Shoulders:

  • Calcific tendonitis

  • Rotator cuff injuries

  • Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)

Elbows & Arms:

  • Chronic tennis elbow

  • Golfer’s elbow

  • Bicipital tendonitis

Back & Spine:

  • Chronic myofascial pain

  • Facet joint dysfunction

  • Sacroiliac joint irritation

Other Areas:

  • Non-healing bone injuries

  • Shin splints

  • Chronic stress fractures

  • Scar tissue and fibrosis

Key Benefits

  • Reaches deeper tissues other therapies can’t access

  • Speeds up recovery from stubborn injuries

  • Reduces inflammation and boosts blood flow

  • Non-invasive, with minimal discomfort and no anesthesia

  • Clinically supported with strong safety and efficacy data

  • Often produces lasting results after just a few sessions

How It Works

During treatment, a water-based transducer is placed against the skin. Focused acoustic energy pulses are delivered to the targeted area at a specific depth and intensity—customized to your injury and tissue type. These pulses cause controlled microtrauma, which:

  • Stimulates your body’s natural healing response

  • Increases metabolic activity and blood flow

  • Breaks up calcifications and scar tissue

  • Encourages collagen production and cell repair

Expected Results

Many patients notice an improvement in mobility and pain reduction within the first 1–2 sessions, though full healing usually requires a series of 3–6 treatments. Results continue to improve over the following weeks as tissue remodeling occurs.
