Healing chronic pain doesn’t always mean surgery—or living with it. With the right tools, guidance, and support, your body can do what it was designed to do: heal. And at Radius, we’re proud to offer that support right here in Nevada County.
If you’re curious whether shockwave therapy is right for you, give us a call or ask your provider during your next visit. We’re happy to walk you through the process, share success stories, and help you make a plan for lasting recovery.
Breakthrough Relief for Stubborn Injuries: How Shockwave Therapy Is Helping Nevada County Heal
At Radius Physical + Sports Rehab, we know how frustrating it can be when an injury just won’t heal. Whether it’s chronic plantar fasciitis, Achilles pain that flares with every run, or shoulder stiffness from calcification that limits your range of motion—sometimes the usual treatments just aren’t enough. That’s where Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) comes in.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing process. It’s especially effective for chronic soft tissue injuries—conditions that haven’t responded to rest, ice, stretching, or even standard physical therapy.
At Radius, we use Storz Medical shockwave technology, one of the most trusted systems in the industry, to target damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and break down scar tissue or calcifications. The result? Less pain, better mobility, and a faster path to healing.
Why It’s Different at Radius
What sets our approach apart is not just the technology—it’s our people. Shockwave therapy at Radius is administered by highly trained providers who understand how to tailor each treatment to your body and your goals. This isn’t a plug-and-play machine; it’s a precision tool in the hands of experts who take the time to listen and adjust based on your feedback.
We’ve seen amazing results in our Nevada City and Grass Valley community—from weekend warriors getting back to the trails, to parents who can finally walk pain-free after months of foot pain, to active older adults reclaiming mobility in their shoulders.
When Other Treatments Plateau—We Step In
If you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck, you’re not alone. Many of our shockwave therapy patients come to us after hitting a wall with other treatments. Whether it’s because inflammation keeps returning or the pain has become part of your daily life, ESWT is often the missing piece that jumpstarts healing where your body has stalled.
Conditions We Commonly Treat with ESWT:
Plantar fasciitis
Achilles tendinopathy
Calcific shoulder tendinopathy
Tennis or golfer’s elbow
Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)
Chronic muscle or fascia tightness
