After using my shockwave machine for a few weeks now, I’ve been delighted by my clients’ responses. What is shockwave therapy? Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive option to treat various musculoskeletal conditions effectively. It uses sound waves emitted from a wand, which is applied to or near the site of injury or pain, to promote natural healing by increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and stimulating the repair of tissues. One client said, “It feels like an ultrasound wand with a small Theragun attached.” A shockwave therapy treatment takes between 7 and 15 minutes per site of application. What are the benefits of shockwave therapy? Wide Range of Applications - I enjoy incorporating shockwave therapy because it’s versatile. Thus far, I’ve treated low back pain, tennis elbow, and patella tendonitis with it. Additional conditions that could benefit from shockwave therapy include plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff tendonitis, and muscle strains. Non-Invasive Treatment - Some of my treatments, like dry needling, aren’t of interest to everyone. I’ve found a greater willingness from my clients to try shockwave therapy, and once they experience the results, they’re excited to do it again. Pain Relief - Many of my clients report instantaneous pain relief in the treated area. Although the effect tapers off initially, with repeated treatments, the pain relief lasts longer. Are there any downsides to shockwave therapy? There are some circumstances where shockwave therapy shouldn’t be used, such as during pregnancy, less than six weeks after a steroid injection, or if you have a Pacemaker. As with all treatments, people tolerate the sensation differently. Some of my clients report no pain during the treatment while others find it to be one of the more painful ones. Lastly, the machine is loud! Interested to see if shockwave therapy can help you reduce your pain and move better?

The root causes of knee pain are highly varied. The pain can stem from an acute issue, like a ligament sprain, or it can be caused by overuse. In fact, knee pain doesn’t always originate in the knee. There could be issues with the ankle or hip that are manifesting as knee pain. When clients come in with knee pain, the first thing we do is discuss the history of the issue. From there, I perform a physical exam including a movement analysis and a range of functional tests to determine what’s wrong. My first goal is to determine if the individual needs to see a physician for the issue or if the pain can be treated through rehab as opposed to surgery. https://www.elevatemovementandrecovery.com/blog/lower-back-pain-causes-and-our-approach monthly 0.5 2023-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6063e6f6bfaedb7a9f3b64b1/c40d1c38-3067-4974-83bb-fe629bd4a5ae/DSC03222-small.jpg Blog - Lower Back Pain: Causes and Our Approach - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.elevatemovementandrecovery.com/blog/emr-vs-pt monthly 0.5 2022-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6063e6f6bfaedb7a9f3b64b1/d41f7955-75b0-442f-adbb-42fd36ae25f1/DSC03205-small.jpg Blog - Benefits of Elevate Movement and Recovery Over Physical Therapy Imagine you’ve injured yourself (you tore your ACL) or you’ve decided to do something about your chronic pain (you’ve had enough of lower back pain slowing you down)...well maybe you don’t have to use your imagination too much. You want to address your issue head on - but now what? There seems to be many different types of medical providers to turn to, so how do you know who can best help you? You may initially consider a physical therapist. However, you may find that traditional physical therapy has drawbacks such as insurance limitations, minimal individual time with the provider, and the necessity of two to three visits per a week ranging from a $25 to $75 copay per session. Potentially more importantly, the goal of most physical therapy is to just return the patient to being able to navigate everyday life. https://www.elevatemovementandrecovery.com/home daily 1.0 2025-07-30 https://www.elevatemovementandrecovery.com/our-team daily 0.75 2025-07-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6063e6f6bfaedb7a9f3b64b1/1623207661724-NDYWDJUH72K73880NXSH/Headshot.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6063e6f6bfaedb7a9f3b64b1/d35c389d-ab9b-4019-b387-48ed1b1d617b/DeLuca+headshot.jpg https://www.elevatemovementandrecovery.com/schedule daily 0.75 2024-12-29 https://www.elevatemovementandrecovery.com/services daily 0.75 2024-12-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6063e6f6bfaedb7a9f3b64b1/1618284677960-Z03BBG2SGCZQC7OU9NHN/IMG_0062.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6063e6f6bfaedb7a9f3b64b1/b51533aa-fd12-4ae7-99fd-18e2886fc0f1/IMG_0077.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6063e6f6bfaedb7a9f3b64b1/1618284257430-RD448XDIH2QGG52SCGAO/IMG_0049.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6063e6f6bfaedb7a9f3b64b1/1619890594641-1QBV0BAPLOZVD41MSJY6/DSC03172.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6063e6f6bfaedb7a9f3b64b1/1619922906319-VKQLM2XAVF5LHA8BAX3W/DSC03146.jpg https://www.elevatemovementandrecovery.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-01-06 https://www.elevatemovementandrecovery.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2024-12-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6063e6f6bfaedb7a9f3b64b1/1617736585729-OBTLWR7BCGX8JRKXEMBY/andre.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6063e6f6bfaedb7a9f3b64b1/1617736242556-CJKOARNBVS5O25ENJUF2/graham+smith.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6063e6f6bfaedb7a9f3b64b1/1620838128671-CB8RKEVQIXM7C0GI3H8T/josh+drack.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6063e6f6bfaedb7a9f3b64b1/1620837878219-O33HL9QSIK2IK4MQ5KBG/sam+hamilton.png https://www.elevatemovementandrecovery.com/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2025-02-17 https://www.elevatemovementandrecovery.com/join-mailing-list daily 0.75 2025-02-18 https://www.elevatemovementandrecovery.com/terms-conditions daily 0.75 2025-02-18 https://www.elevatemovementandrecovery.com/store daily 0.75 2024-11-17
