What Does the Free Shockwave Therapy Assessment Include?

At Spectrum Therapeutics of NJ, we offer a no-cost, no-obligation shockwave therapy assessment with Dr. Rob Letizia, PT, DPT. This is a chance to sit down one-on-one with a doctor of physical therapy who has over 25 years of clinical experience and find out whether extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) could help your condition.

During the assessment, you can expect:

• A focused evaluation of your pain, injury history, and current limitations
• A hands-on examination of the affected area
• An honest conversation about whether shockwave therapy is a good fit for you
• A clear explanation of what treatment would look like, including number of sessions and expected outcomes
• Time to ask questions with zero pressure to commit

This assessment typically takes 15 to 20 minutes. You will leave with a straight answer about your options.

Who Qualifies for a Free Shockwave Assessment?

If you are dealing with a musculoskeletal condition that has not responded well to rest, medication, or traditional physical therapy, you are likely a good candidate for this assessment. We commonly see patients from Wayne, Pompton Lakes, Lincoln Park, Totowa, and throughout Passaic County who have been struggling with pain for weeks or even months without real progress.

You do not need a referral. You do not need to be a current patient. If you have a nagging tendon issue, chronic heel pain, or a stubborn soft tissue injury, this assessment is designed for you.

What Conditions Does Shockwave Therapy Treat?

Shockwave therapy uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissue. It works especially well for chronic tendon problems and conditions where the body's natural repair process has stalled. Common conditions treated with ESWT include:

• Plantar fasciitis and chronic heel pain
• Achilles tendinopathy
• Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
• Golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis)
• Rotator cuff tendinopathy and calcific tendinitis
• Patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee)
• Hip bursitis and gluteal tendinopathy
• Shin splints and stress reactions

What Happens During the Assessment?

There is nothing invasive about this visit. Dr. Letizia will talk with you about your symptoms, review any imaging or medical records you bring, and perform a brief physical examination. From there, he will give you his clinical opinion on whether ESWT is appropriate for your situation.

If shockwave therapy is a good match, he will outline a treatment plan, explain what each session involves, and answer every question you have. If it is not the right approach, he will tell you that directly and suggest other options that make more sense.

Is There Really No Obligation?

None. This assessment exists because we know most people have questions about shockwave therapy before they try it. They want to understand what it feels like, whether it will work for their specific problem, and what the cost looks like. A free assessment removes the guesswork.

We would rather you make an informed decision than a pressured one. Many patients who come in for the assessment end up starting treatment, but plenty of others simply walk away with better information about their condition. Both outcomes are fine.
