Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy

ESWT uses high-energy acoustic impulses that target deep tissues, promoting healing and
helping to reduce pain. It’s non-invasive, quick, and effective, with treatment sessions lasting
only 3-10 minutes! Your practitioner will also provide you guidance about your injury, including
activity level, home exercises, as well as provide other forms of treatment that may complement
the ESTW. No extra fee, an all-inclusive approach. Our goal is to help you get better fast

ESWT is backed by clinical studies and research as an effective solution for many disorders. It is particularly known for its effectiveness in treating tendinopathies (chronic tendon problems) and issues with bones. We see significant improvement in patients suffering from:

Dr. MJ Atkins was Awesome. My knee pain was easily taken care of with a pain free Cortisone shot. Would recommend. He was friendly, explained everything including alternative’s and even followed up the next day to see how I was doing, which in all my years has never happened anywhere else.read more

Today I took my 90 year old mother in for an assessment of her back pain and a treatment plan. She has lost mobility and quality of life the past year and is grief stricken after the loss of her son. The front staff were friendly, helpful and organized. The Doctor was kind, professional and knowledgeable, taking the time to answer all of our questions. We were able to book a second appointment the following week for an ultrasound and cortisone treatment. With hope she will have less pain and be able to mobilize more easily so we can walk her to the garden were she used to sit with her son.read more

The secretaries and Dr. Atkins are friendly, informative and helpful. I am really grateful for the two appointments I have had this month to help with my left knee pain. It was especially helpful to be able to see in the ultrasound (and on a skeletal model) where the problem is exactly in my knee. I trust the cortisone shot I had today will lessen the pain. Thank you!read more
