Shockwave Therapy
Non-invasive acoustic wave treatment for chronic tendon pain, sports injuries, and musculoskeletal conditions – with no downtime.
— What Is IT?
Acoustic waves that activate your body's own healing
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) uses high-energy acoustic pulses to penetrate deep into injured tissue. These pulses break up calcifications, stimulate blood vessel formation, and trigger the release of growth factors — accelerating the healing process in tendons, muscles, and connective tissue.
At HWM Sports Medicine, shockwave therapy is delivered by our board-certified sports medicine physician and is particularly effective for chronic conditions that have not responded to rest, physical therapy, or cortisone injections.

— Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is shockwave therapy painful?
Most patients experience mild discomfort during treatment, particularly over tender areas. The intensity is adjustable and the session is brief – typically 15–20 minutes. Discomfort usually subsides immediately after.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients require 3–6 sessions spaced one week apart. The number depends on the condition, its severity, and your individual response to treatment. Dr. Oyeniran will outline a personalized plan at your initial evaluation.
How soon will I see results?
Some patients notice improvement after the first or second session. Full results typically develop over 6–12 weeks as the tissue heals and remodels. Shockwave therapy continues working even after the sessions are complete.
Is there any downtime?
No. You can return to daily activities immediately. We recommend avoiding high-impact activity on the treated area for 24–48 hours after each session.
Is shockwave therapy covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by plan. Our team will help verify your benefits prior to treatment and discuss all payment options with you.
