Hi, I’m Dr. Alex Samuel, a sports orthopedic focused physical therapist, who’s passionate about helping people overcome pain and live active, fulfilling lives. If you’re dealing with tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, tennis/golfer’s elbow or other stubborn pain tendon issues, I’m excited to introduce you to Shockwave Therapy, a safe, non-invasive treatment that delivers results.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive, highly effective treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing and reduce pain in damaged tissues. It’s especially powerful for conditions like:
- Tendon injuries: Speeding up recovery and reducing inflammation in common overuse conditions such as:
- Golfer’s elbow
- Tennis elbow
- Achilles Tendonitis/ Tendinopathy
- Patellar Tendinitis/ Tendinopathy
- Plantar Fasciitis/ Tendinopathy
- Calcific Tendonitis/ Tendinopathy
- How: This treatment will break up scar tissue and promote healing in disrupted soft tissue.
Why Choose Shockwave Therapy?
I first learned about Shockwave therapy last year when I had injured my hamstring very badly training for a race. I received four treatments of Shockwave therapy by a colleague who noticed my limp at work and it sped up my healing process by 4 weeks! I went from barely being able to straighten my leg, to touching my toes after ONE SESSION! As someone who still enjoys athletic competition, I know firsthand the frustration of injuries holding you back. That’s why I integrate treatments like Shockwave Therapy into my practice—it’s backed by science and tailored to your unique needs.
- Faster Recovery: Boost your body’s natural healing process.
- Pain Relief: Target the source of pain for lasting results.
- Improved Mobility: Get back to doing what you love—whether that’s running, walking, or simply moving without discomfort.
What to Expect
During the session, we’ll focus on the affected area using a hand-held device that delivers acoustic waves. Most patients report noticeable improvement after just a few sessions, with minimal to no downtime.
