We know surgery can feel overwhelming. That’s why we offer advanced, non-invasive treatments designed to make recovery smoother — and, in some cases, even help patients avoid surgery altogether.
Shockwave Therapy and EMTT (Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy) are two proven regenerative treatments that can accelerate healing, reduce pain, and restore mobility. While not a replacement for every surgical procedure, these therapies can often treat certain orthopedic conditions successfully without surgery.
When Shockwave and EMTT Can Help
For many patients, these therapies offer an effective alternative to surgery — especially for chronic musculoskeletal or overuse conditions. They can help address:
- Calcium deposits in tendons (calcific tendinitis)
- Scar tissue from previous injuries or surgeries
- Osteoarthritis in the knees, shoulders, hands, and hips
- Chronic overuse injuries like tennis elbow and Achilles tendinitis
By stimulating blood flow, breaking down scar tissue, and activating the body’s natural repair process, these treatments often lead to pain relief and functional improvement — without the downtime or risks of surgery.
How the Treatments Work
- Shockwave Therapy (ESWT/EPAT): Uses acoustic pressure waves to awaken your body’s natural healing response, improving circulation and tissue repair.
- EMTT: Uses high-energy magnetic pulses that penetrate deep into muscles, tendons, and joints to reduce inflammation and promote regeneration.
When used together, they complement each other — enhancing results, speeding recovery, and helping patients get back to normal activity faster.
Supporting Surgical Recovery Too
Even when surgery is necessary, Shockwave and EMTT can make a major difference. These treatments can:
- Strengthen tissue and improve circulation before surgery
- Reduce swelling and inflammation after surgery
- Support faster wound healing and minimize scar tissue formation
They’re safe, non-invasive options that can be used before and after procedures to optimize healing.
