FDA-cleared indication. Shockwave breaks down fascial adhesions and stimulates healing in the chronically degenerated plantar fascia. 2–3 sessions often sufficient for cases that failed orthotics and stretching.

Mechanical disruption of calcium deposits in the rotator cuff. 60–80% calcification resorption rate. Avoids the need for arthroscopic calcification excision in many cases.
Treats the degenerated common extensor/flexor tendon origin at the elbow. Superior to cortisone at 12 weeks — heals the tendon instead of weakening it. Ideal for chronic cases that failed bracing and rest.

Both insertional and mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy respond to RPW. Stimulates organized collagen formation in the chronically thickened tendon. Combined with eccentric loading exercises for best outcomes.
The Chattanooga RPW2 uses a compressed-air ballistic mechanism to create radially expanding acoustic pressure waves that penetrate tendon and fascia — stimulating neovascularization, collagen remodeling, and growth factor release.


Cortisone injections deplete collagen and weaken tendon structure — guidelines limit use to 3 injections due to rupture risk. Shockwave therapy triggers neovascularization, collagen synthesis, and growth factor release without weakening tissue. At DakshinRehab, shockwave is our first-line treatment for chronic tendinopathy. Meta-analyses show it equivalent or superior to cortisone at 12 weeks — with no tissue-weakening side effects.
Ballistic mechanism accelerates a projectile inside the handpiece; it strikes an applicator tip, creating radially expanding acoustic waves that penetrate tendon and fascia to stimulate cellular repair.
New blood vessel formation brings oxygen and nutrients to chronically degenerated tissue. Tendons have poor blood supply — shockwave reverses that deficit.
Triggers organized collagen fiber production, replacing disorganized scar tissue with functional tendon structure. Unlike cortisone, shockwave strengthens the tendon.
Mechanical disruption of calcific deposits in tendons. 60–80% calcification resorption rate for calcific tendinitis of the shoulder — often avoids arthroscopic removal.
Substance P release followed by depletion reduces chronic pain signaling at the tissue level. Pain relief is sustained, not temporary.
Condition-specific applicator tips target different anatomical structures — plantar fascia, Achilles, rotator cuff, elbow, trigger points. Precision matters.
“The question is not whether the pain goes away today — it is whether the tendon heals. Shockwave gives you both.”— Dr. Swapnagandhi, Human Movement Specialist, Physiotherapist
