Speed Up Your Recovery and Reduce Pain with Shockwave Therapy

Are chronic aches, stiffness, or nagging injuries holding you back? We Help Patients in the Twin Cities find relief, without drugs or invasive procedures

What is Shockwave Therapy?

At PRO Therapy, Shockwave Therapy is one of several advanced tools we use within your comprehensive Physical Therapy Program. This non-invasive treatment uses sound waves to stimulate healing in soft tissues, helping reduce pain, improve mobility, and accelerate recovery.

We offer this service as a standalone fix or may recommend it as part of an integrated and customized care plan. Our recommendation will always be designed to address the root of your problem and support long-term results.

How Does Our Advanced StemWave™ Technology Work?

At PRO Therapy, we utilize cutting-edge StemWave™ Technology. This innovative approach delivers focused, powerful acoustic waves to damaged tissues and areas of inflammation. This is beneficial for more challenging injuries, deep tissue issues, or when a more focused approach is desired. Triggering a cascade of beneficial responses:

  • Pain Reduction: Ease chronic pain quickly and effectively.
  • Mobility Enhancement: Improve mobility as inflammation decreases and muscles relax.
  • Accelerated Healing: Boosts blood flow and cellular activity, speeding up the recovery from soft tissue injuries.

This activation jumpstarts the biological healing process, sending your body’s own healing agents to the exact areas that need it most.

Is Shockwave Therapy Right for YOU? Common Conditions We Treat

At PRO Therapy, we work closely with you to understand your goals and create a personalized treatment plan to get you back to the activities you enjoy. Our highly skilled physical therapists use Shockwave Therapy coupled with other specialized treatment styles and techniques
to address a variety of conditions, including:

Chronic Pain Conditions

Chronic pain can severely impact your daily life, interrupting normal activities and diminishing your overall quality of life. Conditions such as tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, and lateral epicondylitis are common culprits. These ailments often result in persistent pain due to inflammation or wear and tear of connective tissues.

Shockwave Therapy shines in these scenarios by offering substantial pain reduction and aiding in the regeneration of tissues. The treatment works by stimulating blood flow and collagen production, which not only provides immediate relief but also facilitates long-term healing. By using Shockwave Therapy, you might find a significant improvement in your symptoms, allowing you to engage more comfortably in daily activities.

Musculoskeletal Disorders

Musculoskeletal disorders encompass a wide range of conditions affecting muscles, bones, and joints, such as arthritis or tendinitis. These disorders can lead to chronic pain and reduced mobility, often requiring a combination of therapies for effective management. Shockwave Therapy offers a conservative treatment option with its ability to enhance blood circulation and stimulate tissue regeneration.

By focusing acoustic waves on the affected area, it promotes the healing process in soft tissues and helps in reducing inflammation. Over time, patients often notice an improvement in flexibility and a reduction in pain, thus making it easier to perform routine activities with ease and comfort.

Sports Injuries

Sports injuries are common among athletes and active individuals, often affecting muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Whether it’s a sprain, strain, or a more severe injury like patellar tendinopathy, Shockwave Therapy can provide a swift and effective route to recovery. The therapy’s role in increasing blood flow and enhancing the body’s natural healing process can significantly reduce recovery time.

Athletes report an improvement in their capacity to return to their active lifestyles more quickly, without the need for surgical intervention. Integrating Shockwave Therapy into a rehabilitation routine can support not only pain relief but also strengthen the affected tissues, minimizing the risk of re-injury.

I worked with Dr Kelvyn on my ankle and he was excellent. Very attentive and good at changing/adding exercises as needed. He went above and beyond by adjusting my exercises to my desired activities. Extremely positive experience overall.
Alessia C.
I worked with Dr. Lily from January to July following a bad car accident and I can't recommend her enough!! From day one, she was incredibly friendly, supportive, and truly listened to what I was going through. She customized a workout and recovery plan that evolved with me every step of the way, making sure it suited my needs and progress.

She also introduced me to cupping and dry needling, both of which were completely new to me, and was extremely patient and reassuring, especially knowing I was nervous about needles. Thanks to her care and dedication, I’ve seen some improvement in my back, neck, and legs.

If you’re looking for someone who’s highly skilled, compassionate, and genuinely committed to helping you heal, Dr. Lily is the one to see! 🙂 Thank you!!

I have been a client of PRO Therapy since 2019 and each time I have received the best of care from the doctors I have seen. Every team member here cares about the individual and the best approach to healing. I try to deal with my pain issues with out drugs as much as possible and the care I receive from the therapists at PRO Therapy is the best. I highly recommend their services. Most recently I injured my right shoulder and arm from pulling weeds and waited too long to address the pain and limitations I was experiencing. The Stemwave non-invasive medical treatment that I have received in the past 3 weeks along with PT from one of the doctors has brought tremendous relief and is allowing me to get back to normal day to day activities. If you are looking for a clinic that treats you with respect and care as well as addressing your pain issues, don’t go any where else, PRO Therapy is your place!
Lindsay G.
My experience with Pro Therapy, and Dr. Lily Anderson was awesome. I had let my injury get to the point where it was disruptive not only to my training but daily life. Dr. Lily helped me set goals for each week, and I started to see improvement weekly! Now I have the tools and knowledge to maintain my recovery. So grateful for Dr. Lily and Pro Therapy.
Makenna S.
Dr. Lily was incredibly helpful in diagnosing and treating my knee pain! She was always so receptive to my feedback and incredibly accommodating to wherever I was at in my rehab journey. Her exercises and guidance have me pain-free after just a couple months, cannot recommend highly enough!

Lovely PTs! Easy to talk to professionals who know what they are doing and how to best help you. Scheduling appointments are very simple and they always send a reminder text the day before your appointment. Highly recommend!

Outstanding experience working with Dr Salfer and the Pro Therapy team. Helped me overcome a longstanding injury that blocked me from running. Am back to regular 5Ks for the first time in almost a decade and feel fantastic! Dr Salfer is great at what she does and is super patient to answer questions and provide instructions on how to do exercises. Front desk team also couldn’t be nicer. Thank you!
