Shockwave Therapy in Wayne, NJ
FDA-Approved Treatment for Pain That Won't Go Away.
Failed physical therapy? Steroid shots wearing off? Considering surgery? Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) targets chronic pain at the source—using acoustic waves to break up scar tissue and trigger your body's natural healing response.
Led by Dr. Rob Letizia, DPT, our 1-on-1 shockwave protocols help 80% of patients avoid surgery for conditions like Plantar Fasciitis and Tendonitis.
Non-Invasive • No Downtime • 70-85% Clinical Success Rate
Is Your Healing Stuck?
Chronic pain happens when your body's healing cycle stops. Shockwave therapy restart it by:
- ✓ Breaking down internal scar tissue and calcifications
- ✓ Stimulating new blood vessel growth (Neovascularization)
- ✓ Triggering collagen production for tendon repair
- ✓ Reducing 'Substance P' to lower chronic pain levels
- ✓ Reversing chronic inflammation at the cellular level
How ESWT Works
Shockwave Therapy (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy) is a regenerative treatment. It delivers high-energy acoustic pressure waves deep into damaged tissue. This create 'microtrauma' that fools the body into sending fresh healing cells to the area. It is the gold standard for stubborn tendon injuries.
At Spectrum Therapeutics, we combine Shockwave with manual therapy for maximum recovery speed.
Conditions Treated with Shockwave
Plantar Fasciitis
Chronic heel pain and heel spurs. Shockwave is 90% effective for patients who failed orthotics and stretching.
Achilles Tendonitis
Pain and swelling at the back of the heel. ESWT triggers collagen remodeling in the tendon tissue.
Tennis & Golfer’s Elbow
Chronic elbow pain from gripping or typing. Shockwave repairs the extensor and flexor tendons at the bone.
Rotator Cuff Tendonitis
Calcific tendinitis or chronic shoulder pain. ESWT breaks down calcium deposits non-invasively.
Patellar Tendonitis
Jumper's Knee. We use shockwave to treat the front-of-knee pain that stops athletes from jumping and squatting.
Hip Bursitis
Trochanteric Bursitis. Shockwave reduces inflammation and repairs the gluteal tendons often involved in hip pain.
Why Shockwave vs. Other Options?
Regenerative results vs. temporary symptom masking.
VS. Cortisone Injections
Cortisone shuts down inflammation but can weaken your tendons over time. Shockwave creates actual tissue repair for a permanent fix, not just a 3-month mask.
VS. Surgery
Surgery involves risks, scars, and long recovery times. Shockwave has zero downtime and comparable success rates for plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow.
VS. Rest & NSAIDs
Rest doesn't heal a degenerative tendon. Shockwave provides the biological stimulus your body needs to start healing again, moving you past the 'plateau.'
