Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment used to support pain relief and mobility by stimulating circulation and tissue response in targeted areas. At Omega Health Solutions in Grand Rapids, Shockwave Therapy is often used as part of a broader pain relief program rather than as a one-off treatment.

The Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

Pain Relief

From hip and knee pain to plantar fasciitis, Shockwave Therapy is delivering significant pain relief, helping patients avoid surgery and other invasive treatments. This innovative, non-surgical approach targets the root cause of pain, providing healing effect instead of "masking" the problem.

No Down Time

Compared to many other pain relief therapies, Shockwave Therapy offers only mild discomfort, allowing you to get back to your routine right away now with less pain and greater freedom. It’s a straightforward, non-invasive approach that fits seamlessly into your life, helping you reclaim movement and comfort without interruption.

Arthritis Treatment

Shockwave Therapy works to break up calcification in joints and tendons for those dealing with arthritis, easing stiffness and improving movement. This innovative therapy also helps reduce inflammation and, in some cases, appears to support the regeneration of bone, cartilage, and tendons in the affected area.

Accelerated Healing

The therapy boosts blood flow to the treated area, improving the supply of oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues, which is essential for both healing and pain reduction.

Improved Mobility

Regain your range of motion with Shockwave Therapy, even for challenging conditions like frozen shoulder. This non-invasive treatment promotes healing deep within the tissue, helping to restore mobility, reduce stiffness, and relieve pain—so you can move freely again.

Non-Invasive & Drug-Free

Unlike surgery or pharmaceutical treatments, Shockwave Therapy is a completely non-invasive and drug-free option, making it a safe and effective alternative for patients seeking relief without the risks associated with more invasive procedures.

How Shockwave Fits Into Our Pain Relief Program

Shockwave therapy is most effective when used as part of a structured approach to pain relief. It is often combined with other non-invasive therapies based on the individual’s needs and goals.
