Shockwave Therapy in Scarsdale, NY

Shockwave therapy sends pulses of acoustic energy through the skin into a painful tendon, joint or soft tissue. The aim is to restart a healing response in tissue that has stalled, without needles, incisions or medication. It is non-surgical and done in the office. It does not work for everyone or every condition, and part of the evaluation is deciding whether it suits your problem or whether PRP, physical therapy or a surgeon is the better answer.

Shockwave is considered for specific problems after an evaluation. It is not a cure, and results vary.

• Patients with tendon or soft-tissue pain that has not settled with rest and physical therapy
• Patients with joint discomfort who want a non-surgical option
• Men with erectile dysfunction, for whom low-intensity shockwave is performed under physician supervision
• Patients who can attend a series of in-office sessions in Scarsdale

Shockwave cannot be done by telehealth. A telehealth visit can still be a starting point for the evaluation.
