Whether your knee pain is caused by arthritis, tendonitis, an old injury, or overuse, extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment designed to stimulate your body’s natrual healing response.  At Plumeria Wellness, we provide personalized evaluations to determine whether shock wave therapy is appropriate for your condition.  

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) uses focused acoustic waves to stimulate biological processes involved in tissue repair. Depending on the condition, it may help improve circulation, promote healing, and reduce pain. 

At Plumeria Wellness, treatment are performed using the StemWave system, an FDA-cleared device that delivers focused acoustic waves.

At Plumeria Wellness, your care is provided by an experienced Nurse Practitioner with advanced training in functional and regenerative medicine. Every patient receives a thorough evaluation to identify the source of knee pain before treatment is recommended.

Rather than treating symptoms alone, we focus on helping you return to the activities that matter most.

Does shock wave therapy hurt?

Most patients tolerate treatment well. You may feel brief discomfort over sensitive areas, but treatments are typically completed in about 10–15 minutes.

How many treatments are usually recommended?

Many treatment plans involve a series of sessions, though the exact number depends on your diagnosis, severity of symptoms, and treatment goals.

Is there any downtime?

Most patients return to their normal daily activities immediately after treatment. Your provider will discuss any activity modifications that may be appropriate.

Is shock wave therapy covered by insurance?

Unfortunately, shock wave therapy is not an insurance covered treatment. We can discuss payment options during your consultation.

If knee pain is limiting your daily activities, schedule a consultation to find out whether extracorporeal shock wave therapy may be appropriate for you.
