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 have struggled with back and hip pain for several years. ProTherapy is the first place that I found made consistent progress to healing. The combination of physical therapy and Stem Wave has made such a difference in my mobility and pain relief. The staff are so knowledgeable, kind, and put 100% of themselves into their work with patients. If you have been struggling to find relief from your pain, I would highly recommend trying ProTherapy

Lily, is extremely good at what she does. She's been vital in managing injuries during marathon prep and recovery from injuries. Highly recommend choosing PRO Therapy for your PT needs, especially if you're a runner.
Ron D.
I had a very good experience working with Dr. Kelvyn Van Laarhoven at Pro Therapy. I came to Pro Therapy with lingering soreness in my left hip area from hip replacement surgery 2.5 years ago. And I had a flare up of low back pain. Dr. Kelvyn worked with me and showed me how to do several exercises that helped resolve the hip and back issues. I do feel better. I had approximately 14 - 16 appointments over a 3 - 4 month period. I am very satisfied with the outcome of my PT, working with Dr. Kelvyn and Pro Therapy.
