Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy — Radial Head & V-Force Adaptor

Shockwave therapy uses acoustic pressure waves to break up tight or dysfunctional tissue patterns and stimulate the body’s regenerative healing response. It is one of the most effective treatments for stubborn tendon and chronic soft-tissue conditions that have not responded to rest, stretching or traditional manual therapy.

At Mountain Ridge Wellness, we use two forms of shockwave delivery to target different tissue depths:

Radial Shockwave Head

Best for broad, superficial and medium-depth tissues.
Ideal for:

Plantar fasciitis & heel pain
Achilles tendon pain
Tennis elbow & golfer’s elbow
Rotator cuff dysfunction
Hip/glute tendon pain
Patellar tendon injuries
Iliotibial (IT) band tightness
Chronic muscle tension and trigger points

Radial shockwave disperses energy across a wider area, allowing treatment of both primary injury sites and related compensations.

V-Force Adaptor Head

Best for higher-intensity, deeper and more focused soft-tissue work.
Ideal for:

Deep gluteal / hip dysfunction
Chronic hamstring pain
Deep calf or soleus adhesion
High-tolerance athletic tissues
Long-standing tendon degeneration
Scar tissue reorganization

V-Force energy penetrates deeper to break up adhesions and stimulate regeneration in stubborn tissue patterns.

Results & Expectations

During treatment, patients may feel mild to moderate pressure or tapping, depending on intensity.
Afterward, tissues often feel lighter, looser and more mobile — with progressive improvement over the next 24–72 hours as circulation and cellular repair increase.

Shockwave therapy is ideal for injuries that have plateaued or failed to improve with traditional stretching, strengthening or rest.
