Shockwave therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in various musculoskeletal conditions.
Shockwave therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in various musculoskeletal conditions.
During the procedure, our device delivers shockwaves to the affected area of the body. These pulses travel through the skin and into the targeted tissue, where they induce a series of biological responses. Shockwave therapy is designed to promote tissue regeneration, increase blood flow, decrease inflammation, and break down scar tissue. It may also stimulate the production of collagen, which is essential for tissue repair.
Session Length: Shockwave therapy sessions typically last 10–15 minutes, making them a quick and effective addition to your wellness routine.
Experience: Shockwave therapy typically feels like an intense, rhythmic tapping or buzzing sensation, often described as a “deep tissue massage” or a “little jackhammer” on the skin.
How It Works: uses targeted, high-energy acoustic pulses to treat chronic musculoskeletal pain by triggering the body’s natural healing response. The waves induce microtrauma to damaged tissues, which stimulates increased blood flow,
Safety & Comfort: Shockwave therapy at MedFusion Wellness is FDA-approved and administered by trained professionals in a clean, controlled environment.
Most people describe it as an intense tapping or buzzing — some say it feels like a deep tissue massage, others compare it to a small jackhammer on the skin. It’s uncomfortable rather than painful, and it’s brief.
The intensity is adjustable. We start lower and work up to what you can tolerate, because the treatment is more effective at higher intensity but there’s no benefit to pushing past what you can handle. Tell your provider during the session and we’ll dial it back.
Sessions run about 10 to 15 minutes and there’s no downtime — most people go straight back to work.
Most conditions respond to a series rather than a single session. Plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and chronic tendon pain typically take a course of treatments spaced about a week apart, which is why we offer 6-week and 8-week programs alongside single sessions.
Some people feel a difference after the first two or three. Others take longer, particularly if the problem has been there for years. We’ll give you a realistic read after your first session rather than selling you a package up front.
A single into shockwave session is $89 at our Cedar Park location.
Because most conditions need a series, we also offer 6-week and 8-week programs ask us for current pricing on those, since it works out considerably better per session than paying individually.
Every new patient starts with a short telehealth approval before their first session. That’s a clinical requirement, not a sales step, and it’s included.
