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.

Since starting treatment, my knee pain has improved significantly and the constant ache I was having is gone.”

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.

Julie M.
I worked with Dr. Kelvyn here for over a year and a half on multiple lower body injuries (ankle, knee, hip, lower back). He is the best physical therapist I’ve ever worked with, and unfortunately I’ve had the misfortune of working with a lot of PTs in my lifetime. I appreciated that he really listened to what I was coming in and describing feeling to him each session, and then he tailored the exercises we did together and the exercises he prescribed to do at home based on what I reported at the beginning of our session. He also did a good job of adjusting my at home exercises to my needs and preferences. Can’t recommend Dr. Kelvyn or PRO Therapy enough!
Al O.
Great recovery from neck and shoulder focus! Thank you for care!!
Christine S.
My experience with Grace was wonderful. I saw her for pelvic floor therapy and some general physical therapy and hip mobility. She listened very well to my concerns, was very educational and helped me understand why I was doing the exercises I was doing. I would highly recommend Grace and Pro Therapy.
Timothy M.
Grace helped me strengthen my core to the point where my back feels so much better. She gave me excercises that I can do at home that don't require gym equipment.

Since my treatment, pain and mobility have greatly improved. Very appreciative of all the help.
Linda S.
I had two different doctors working with me and both were very good. They listen, have you try different moves, and are able to proceed to plan.

Excellent place with great people. Go to this place.
Dr. Lily met me where I was (post a major surgery and really weak - like barely able to stand/walk) with respect and accommodation. I was always challenged but at a safe pace. It took me a few months to see it, but they were working on the long game all the time and it paid off. I'm really happy with my recovery.

*p.s. - Don't be intimidated by the super hulk weight machines. I kinda was but almost nobody uses those. They utilize all sorts of un-intimidating equipment. Also, the location seems odd at first but it turns out to be very convenient.

I'll go back if I ever need more PT. 100%

I found PRO Therapy shortly after tearing my ACL at the beginning of the year. From the Pre-Op PT, to now 7 months post op and 50+ appointments, I could not be happier with where Dr. Kelvyn and Dr. Lily have gotten me back to. I highly recommend PRO to anyone looking for PT in the Twin Cities!
