When Pain Just Doesn’t Settle Down

Around here, we hike, run trails, ski, work outdoors, and stay moving year-round.

But some injuries don’t heal easily — especially tendon injuries.
Limited blood supply and repeated strain can cause pain to linger for months, even after rest, rehab, or injections.

That’s where shockwave therapy can be a helpful next step.

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy uses acoustic energy to stimulate healing in chronically irritated tendon and soft tissue.

At Sierra Spine & Fitness LLC, we offer both focused and radial shockwave therapy, allowing us to match the treatment to the tissue depth, location, and type of injury.

Focused vs Radial Shockwave (Why We Use Both)

Focused Shockwave

• Targets deeper, more specific tissues

• Commonly used for:

  • Chronic plantar fasciitis

  • Heel pain

  • Deeper shoulder tendon injuries

• Precise depth targeting

Radial Shockwave

• Covers broader, more superficial areas

• Commonly used for:

  • Muscle-tendon junctions

  • Elbow and forearm tendon pain

  • Calf, Achilles, and surrounding tissue

• Helps prepare tissue and improve circulation

 Many cases benefit from a combination of both, depending on the condition and response.
