Focused shockwave therapy in Addison, TX
A non-invasive option for long-lasting tendon and soft-tissue pain. Every patient sees a provider first, who decides whether shockwave makes sense for you.
Educational information, not medical advice. Not everyone is a candidate.
Quick, non-invasive, and done in the office
Non-invasive
No needles, surgery or anesthesia. A gel is applied to the skin over the area.
Targeted
Staff locate the most tender spot, and the pulses are focused on that area.
15–30 minutes
A typical session. Your provider sets how many sessions and how far apart.
What it feels like
Firm tapping. Mild, temporary discomfort is common, and the intensity can be adjusted.
Minimal downtime
Most people go back to their day. You may be asked to avoid anti-inflammatories and high-impact activity during the course.

A provider evaluates you first
Charles Ortega, PA-C or Rowena Calleja, PT takes your history, examines the area and screens for anything that rules shockwave out.
You get a plan, not a sales pitch
If shockwave fits, your provider sets the area, intensity and number of sessions. If something else should come first, such as physical therapy or imaging, we say so.
Trained staff run your sessions
Sessions are performed by our trained medical staff, following your provider's plan. Shockwave can be combined with physical therapy when that makes sense.
