Say Goodbye to Stubborn Pain with Shockwave Therapy in Vermont
Discover Non-Invasive Pain Relief at Living Well Physical Therapy
Are you searching for effective heel pain treatment, relief from tennis elbow, shoulder pain, or chronic sports injuries in Vermont? If traditional methods like stretches, rest, or injections haven’t worked, it’s time to explore the breakthrough solution: Shockwave Therapy.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
The Science Behind Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)
Shockwave Therapy (also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy, ESWT) is a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment that uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes. Unlike treatments that rely on medication or surgery, shockwave therapy:
Increases blood flow to injured tissues
Breaks down scar tissue for improved mobility
Reduces inflammation and pain
Accelerates healing of muscles, tendons, and ligaments
Treatments are performed right in our Living Well VT clinic by experienced providers—no needles, no surgery, and minimal discomfort.
Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy
Common Injuries and Chronic Pain Conditions
Our shockwave therapy program is supported by recent research and is highly effective for:
Plantar Fasciitis (Heel Pain): Fast pain relief and improved walking comfort
Tennis Elbow & Golfer’s Elbow: Reduces elbow pain from repetitive use
Achilles Tendonitis: Promotes healing for ankle and heel pain
Shoulder Tendinitis & Calcific Tendonitis: Breaks down calcium deposits for better movement

What to Expect During Your Shockwave Therapy Session
Your Visit at Living Well Physical Therapy

Return to your normal activities immediately—no downtime!
Most patients require 3–8 sessions, spaced about a week apart, for optimal results.
Is Shockwave Therapy Safe?
