Shockwave Therapy in Sarasota
Non-Invasive Support for Pain Relief & Tissue Healing
Shockwave Therapy, also known as Regenerative Cellular Technology (RCT), is a drug-free treatment designed to support the body’s natural healing response in stubborn or slow-to-heal musculoskeletal conditions.
Who May Benefit from Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy may be a great option if you’re dealing with persistent pain, stiffness, or limited movement that hasn’t fully resolved with rest or traditional care.
This therapy is commonly used for people who:
Have chronic or recurring joint or soft-tissue pain
Feel stiff, tight, or restricted during movement or exercise
Struggle with slow healing or lingering injuries
Experience pain that keeps coming back despite stretching, rehab, or adjustments
Want a non-invasive, drug-free option to support healing
Are active, athletic, or simply want to move better in daily life
Your provider will determine whether Shockwave Therapy is appropriate based on your history, exam findings, and goals.
Regenerative Cellular Technology (RCT) uses targeted acoustic energy delivered into irritated or damaged tissue. These sound waves stimulate a biological response that helps:
Improve local circulation
Reduce pain sensitivity
Support tissue regeneration over time
Shockwave Therapy is commonly used for chronic tendon issues, fascia restrictions, and soft-tissue pain — especially when symptoms have lingered despite rest, stretching, or traditional care.
Sessions are brief and performed in-office, which means pain relief without interruptions to your daily life!

Yes. Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that has been widely used for musculoskeletal conditions. At The Wellness Way Sarasota, all treatments are performed in-office and overseen by a licensed provider who determines if it’s appropriate for your condition.

Most patients describe the sensation as a rhythmic tapping or pressure. Some areas may feel mildly uncomfortable during treatment, but it is generally very tolerable and sessions are brief.
-
The number of sessions varies depending on the condition being treated, how long symptoms have been present, and how your body responds. Some patients notice improvement early, while others benefit from a series of treatments for longer-term tissue support.
-
Some people experience symptom relief shortly after treatment, but Shockwave Therapy is designed to stimulate a healing response that continues developing over time. Improvements often build over the weeks following treatment.
-
Shockwave Therapy is commonly used for chronic tendon issues, fascia-related pain, and soft-tissue conditions that have not responded well to rest or traditional approaches. Your provider will determine whether it is appropriate based on your history and exam findings.

It can be, but Shockwave Therapy is often most effective when used as part of a larger care plan. This may include chiropractic care, movement strategies, or other supportive therapies to improve overall function and recovery.
