Shockwave Therapy in Anchorage
Non-Surgical Treatment for Chronic Pain & Tendon Injuries
If you’ve been dealing with stubborn pain that just won’t go away, shockwave therapy may be the solution.
At Point North Physical Therapy, we offer advanced Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) to help patients recover from chronic tendon pain, plantar fasciitis, and overuse injuries — without injections or surgery.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissue. It increases blood flow, breaks down scar tissue, and triggers your body’s natural repair process.
It is commonly used for:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendonitis
- Patellar tendonitis (jumper’s knee)
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
- Golfer’s elbow
- Shoulder tendinopathy
- Calcific tendonitis
- Chronic hip pain
- IT band syndrome
If you’ve tried rest, stretching, or injections without relief, shockwave therapy may help restart the healing process.
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy
- Non-invasive
- No downtime
- No medications
- Stimulates natural healing
- Helps chronic injuries that haven’t improved with traditional care
- Often effective in 3–6 treatments
Many patients report reduced pain and improved function within weeks.
What to Expect
Treatments take about 10–15 minutes. You may feel mild discomfort during treatment, but sessions are quick and require no recovery time.
Shockwave therapy can be done as a standalone cash service or incorporated into your physical therapy plan.
