Tendon pain that won’t go away? Here’s where shockwave fits in.
We’ve added focused shockwave therapy at Finish Strong, and our new blog covers how we use it.
Shockwave sends brief, high-energy acoustic pulses deep into injured tissue to help kickstart your body’s healing response. We’ve had the best results with stubborn, long-term tendon problems (tendinopathies) in the:
• High hamstring and glutes
• Elbow and shoulder
• Knee and Achilles
• Plantar fascia
How we’re different: shockwave is never a standalone treatment here. Lots of clinics offer quick 10-minute shockwave sessions and stop there. We pair it with a full evaluation, progressive loading, strength work and return-to-sport planning, so you fix the cause and not just the symptoms.
What to expect:
• Usually 3 weekly sessions to start, then we reassess
• 6–10 minutes per treatment, fitting easily into a 30-minute follow-up
• Discomfort stays at or below 5/10, and we adjust the settings to you
