Chronic tendon injuries (Achilles, rotator cuff, patellar tendon)
Heel pain and plantar fasciitis
Calcific tendinitis or scar tissue
Recurring muscle or joint pain without a clear diagnosis
Post-surgical recovery planning
Before delivering any treatment, the most important question is: Are we treating the right thing?
We use diagnostic ultrasound imaging as a crucial first step in the care process. This advanced, non-invasive tool helps our clinical team accurately identify the type, location, and depth of soft tissue pathology—ensuring that shockwave therapy is precisely targeted for maximum effect.
Whether you’re dealing with chronic tendon pain, plantar fasciitis, or a stubborn sports injury, diagnostic ultrasound helps eliminate guesswork so we can design a treatment plan that works.
Ultrasound gives real-time visualization of tendons, ligaments, muscles, and other soft tissues. This helps us confirm:
Whether a tendon is inflamed, thickened, or partially torn
If scar tissue, calcification, or fluid buildup is present
The exact depth and dimensions of the pathology
Shockwave therapy can penetrate up to 6 cm, but without precise diagnostics, energy may be misdirected or underdosed.
Ultrasound pinpoints where to apply radial vs. focal shockwave
Reduces treatment times and improves success rates
Helps track progress across treatment sessions
Patients want answers. Providers want certainty. By using ultrasound as part of our intake, we ensure that treatment recommendations are data-driven and pathology-specific—not based on assumptions or surface symptoms.

Post-surgical recovery planning
Clinical Assessment – We review your pain history, movement limitations, and past treatments.
Ultrasound Imaging – Performed by trained clinicians to visualize affected tissue in real time.
Treatment Planning – Based on ultrasound findings, we tailor a plan using radial, focal, or combined shockwave therapy.
Ongoing Monitoring – Ultrasound may be used during or after treatment to track healing and guide next steps.
Ultrasound isn’t just a tool—it’s part of our commitment to providing evidence-based, non-invasive care that produces real, lasting results. By combining advanced imaging with targeted regenerative therapies, we help patients avoid surgery, recover faster, and return to doing what they love.
