Extracorporeal & Radial Shockwave Therapy in NYC
A Non-Invasive Solution for Chronic Pain & Musculoskeletal Conditions
If you’re dealing with stubborn joint or muscle pain, extracorporeal shockwave therapy in NYC may be the game-changing treatment you’ve been looking for. At Active Physical Therapy and Chiropractic Group, we use advanced radial pressure wave therapy—also known as radial shockwave treatment—to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions without surgery or medication.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive technique that uses radial shockwaves (acoustic pulses) to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. These waves help break down scar tissue, increase circulation, and reduce inflammation—speeding up recovery and easing chronic pain.
Our clinic specializes in radial shockwave therapy in NYC, which distributes energy over a broader area, making it ideal for conditions involving muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
What Is the Difference Between Radial and Focused Shockwaves?
- Radial Shockwave Therapy: A broader, more superficial treatment that’s effective for large surface areas like the hips, shoulders, or knees.
- Focused Shockwave Therapy: A more targeted, deeper treatment often used to pinpoint tendon, ligament, fascia, and joint pain.
We offer radial pressure wave therapy using extracorporeal pulse activation technology, which is well-suited for most common orthopedic injuries and musculoskeletal conditions.
What Does Shockwave Treatment Feel Like?
Most patients describe it as a tapping or pulsing sensation. It’s generally well-tolerated, with only mild discomfort in sensitive areas. There’s no downtime—just fast, effective pain relief.
How Long Do Shockwave Sessions Last?
A single shockwave therapy session lasts about 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the treatment area. It’s quick, convenient, and performed in our Manhattan clinic.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Most people begin to feel improvement after just 3–5 sessions. Our team will develop a personalized care plan based on your condition, severity, and healing response.
Do I Qualify for Shockwave Therapy in NYC?
You may benefit from shockwave therapy in NYC if you’re dealing with:
- Chronic pain in joints or soft tissue
- Tendinitis in the shoulders, hips, or knees
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tennis or golfer’s elbow
- Calcific tendinopathy
- Sacroiliac joint pain (sacroiliitis)
- Old sports injuries or repetitive strain
If you haven’t seen results from traditional physical therapy, radial shockwave treatment may help you get over the plateau.
Can I Work Out After Treatment?
Yes, but we recommend limiting high-impact activities for the first 24–48 hours. Our team will provide personalized post-treatment guidance based on your lifestyle and goals.
Are There Any Contraindications?
You should avoid shockwave therapy in Manhattan if:
- You are pregnant
- You have a clotting disorder or take blood thinners
- You’ve had a cortisone injection in the area within 6 weeks
