Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment modality that delivers acoustic shockwaves to tissues to stimulate healing, reduce pain, and improve function in chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Used for chronic tendinopathies including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, tennis elbow, and rotator cuff tendinopathy, as well as non-union fractures and myofascial pain, ESWT provides an effective non-surgical option for patients who have failed conservative treatment. Available in focused and radial forms, it offers hope for recovery without surgery.
Description
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)
PRIMARY CLINICAL & DIAGNOSTIC USES
1. Treatment of Chronic Tendinopathies
-
Primary Use: Delivers focused or radial shockwaves to treat chronic tendinopathies including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee), lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), and rotator cuff tendinopathy. Shockwaves stimulate tissue healing, reduce pain, and promote neovascularization.
-
How it helps: For the orthopedic surgeon, sports medicine physician, and physical therapist, ESWT provides a non-invasive treatment option for chronic tendon conditions that have failed conservative management—stimulating healing and reducing pain without surgery. For the patient with chronic tendon pain that has not responded to rest, therapy, or injections, shockwave therapy offers hope for recovery without the risks of surgery.
2. Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis
-
Primary Use: One of the most common indications for ESWT, delivering focused shockwaves to the plantar fascia insertion to reduce pain, inflammation, and promote healing in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis unresponsive to conservative treatment.
-
How it helps: For the podiatrist and orthopedic foot and ankle specialist, ESWT provides an effective non-surgical option for patients suffering from chronic heel pain—reducing pain and improving function without the risks of surgery. For the patient with persistent plantar fasciitis who has tried stretching, orthotics, and injections without relief, shockwave therapy offers a path to pain-free walking.
3. Treatment of Calcific Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
-
Primary Use: Focused shockwave therapy is used to fragment calcific deposits in the rotator cuff tendons, reducing pain and improving shoulder function. The shockwaves break down calcium deposits and stimulate tissue healing.
-
How it helps: For the orthopedic shoulder specialist, ESWT provides a non-invasive alternative to surgery for patients with painful calcific tendinopathy—breaking down calcific deposits and relieving pain without the need for arthroscopic debridement. For the patient with a painful calcified rotator cuff, shockwave therapy offers the possibility of pain relief without surgery.
4. Treatment of Non-Union Fractures and Delayed Union
-
Primary Use: Focused shockwave therapy is used to stimulate bone healing in patients with non-union fractures (fractures that have failed to heal) and delayed union. The mechanical stimulation promotes osteogenesis and revascularization at the fracture site.
-
How it helps: For the orthopedic trauma surgeon, ESWT provides a non-surgical option for stimulating bone healing in fractures that have failed to unite—potentially avoiding the need for bone grafting and revision surgery. For the patient with a fracture that has not healed after months of immobilization, shockwave therapy offers hope for bone healing without additional surgery.
5. Treatment of Myofascial Pain Syndrome and Trigger Points
-
Primary Use: Radial shockwave therapy is used to treat myofascial pain syndrome by delivering shockwaves to trigger points, reducing muscle tension, pain, and improving range of motion in conditions such as chronic neck pain, back pain, and muscle spasms.
-
How it helps: For the physical therapist and pain management specialist, ESWT provides a non-invasive tool for treating chronic myofascial pain—releasing trigger points and reducing muscle tension without needles or medication. For the patient with chronic muscle pain and tightness, shockwave therapy offers relief when other treatments have failed.
SECONDARY & SUPPORTIVE USES

Mini Bike
$1.00
A Mini Bike is a compact, portable pedal exerciser designed for seated lower extremity cycling and tabletop upper extremity cycling for passive, active-assisted, or active exercise in rehabilitation and home settings. Unlike traditional stationary bikes that require standing or transferring to a specialized seat, the mini bike places the pedal unit on the floor in front of the user for leg exercise, or on a tabletop for arm exercise, allowing patients with severe deconditioning, lower extremity weakness, neurological impairment, or upper limb pathology to initiate therapeutic movement safely from their own chair or bed. Adjustable magnetic or friction resistance allows for progressive strengthening, while forward and backward pedaling engages different muscle groups. For the physical therapist and occupational therapist, the mini bike provides an accessible entry point to rehabilitation for patients who cannot yet tolerate upright exercise—including those recovering from stroke, spinal cord injury, joint replacement, cardiac surgery, or critical illness. For the patient with limited mobility, regular mini bike use maintains joint range of motion, activates the calf muscle pump to reduce edema, prevents deconditioning, restores upper extremity function, and supports functional recovery—all while remaining safely seated.

Narrowband UVB (311-313 nm) is the most common modality, offering effective treatment with minimal systemic side effects. Full-body cabinets, handheld units, and targeted devices allow treatment of localized or widespread disease. Regular phototherapy can achieve significant disease clearance, improve quality of life, and reduce reliance on systemic medications.
Yoga Exercise Ball
$1.00
A Yoga Exercise Ball is an inflatable, unstable exercise device used for core strengthening, balance training, flexibility improvement, and low-impact cardiovascular exercise in physical therapy, occupational therapy, and rehabilitation settings. Manufactured from burst-resistant PVC with anti-burst technology that creates slow deflation if punctured, the exercise ball provides a dynamic, unstable surface that engages deep stabilizing muscles of the trunk and pelvis—improving lumbar stability and reducing low back pain in patients with chronic spinal conditions. Available in sizes from forty-five to seventy-five centimeters to accommodate patients of different heights, the exercise ball challenges balance systems through graded exercises from seated stability to advanced standing activities. For the physical therapist and rehabilitation specialist, the exercise ball is a versatile tool for core conditioning, fall prevention, post-operative rehabilitation, and functional training across diverse patient populations including those with low back pain, stroke, Parkinson's disease, arthritis, and deconditioning. For the patient, regular ball exercises restore spinal stability, improve balance confidence, maintain joint mobility, and provide safe, low-impact cardiovascular conditioning that supports long-term health and independence.
