What Does Shockwave Therapy Actually Do?

Despite the name, Shockwave Therapy doesn't involve electricity or a literal “shock.”

It uses acoustic waves to deliver mechanical energy into targeted tissues.

Depending on the condition and treatment goals, this can help stimulate a local biological response and support the body's healing and remodeling processes.

We commonly use it for stubborn tendon and soft-tissue problems—including plantar fascia, Achilles, elbow, and shoulder conditions.

It's one tool. The right tool depends on the injury.

MYTH: ART is just “deep tissue massage.”

Not quite.

Active Release Techniques® is a specific, movement-based soft-tissue treatment performed by a trained provider.

At Evergreen Spine & Sports Medicine, ART is incorporated into a larger clinical assessment and treatment plan.

Depending on the athlete and the problem, that might include:

ART + adjustment
ART + corrective exercise
ART + dry needling
ART + K-tape
ART + Hyperice recovery
ART + shockwave therapy

One body. Multiple tools. One goal: helping you move better and keep doing what you love.

Treat the Whole Athlete

At ESSM, we don't believe in treating pain in isolation.

Dry needling is one of the tools we use alongside chiropractic care, Active Release Technique, corrective exercise, mobility work, and other therapies to help athletes move and perform their best.

One tool. One part of the bigger picture.

Tendon pain can be stubborn.

Achilles.
Patellar tendon.
Rotator cuff.
Biceps tendon.
Tennis elbow.

When a tendon is irritated, simply resting and hoping it goes away isn't always the answer.

We look at the entire movement system—including the muscles and tissues surrounding the area.

ART may be used to address soft-tissue restrictions, while corrective exercise helps build capacity and treatments such as shockwave therapy may be incorporated when appropriate.

The goal isn't just less pain. It's getting you strong enough to do the things that caused the problem in the first place.

Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy

Shoulder pain doesn't always mean you need to stop using your shoulder.

Rotator cuff tendinopathy is common in athletes and active adults—especially when the demands placed on the shoulder exceed its current capacity.

Shockwave Therapy can be one component of treatment for persistent tendon problems, but the bigger picture matters:

✓ Mobility
✓ Strength
✓ Movement mechanics
✓ Training load
✓ Recovery

Our goal is to get you back to doing—not just feeling better while resting.

When Stretching Isn't Enough

Ever have a muscle that feels like it just won’t stretch?

Sometimes the issue isn't that you need to stretch harder. A muscle may be guarding or holding excessive tension.

Dry needling can help address those deeper muscular restrictions and complement your mobility work.

09/05/2026

Biceps Tendon Pain

That nagging pain in the front of your shoulder?

It may be coming from your biceps tendon.

Biceps tendon problems can develop from repetitive overhead activity, lifting, throwing, swimming, or simply asking the shoulder to do more than the tissues are currently prepared to handle.

Shockwave Therapy may be incorporated into treatment for persistent tendon pain, alongside mobility work, manual therapy, and progressive strengthening.

We don't just want to calm the pain down. We want to help you build a shoulder that can handle your activities.

When your doctor has taught the technique to other doctors… you know ART is more than just another tool in the toolbox.

Dr. Gonzales is an ART Elite Provider and spent several years teaching Active Release Techniques® to other healthcare professionals.

Today, she uses that experience every day in the clinic—not just to perform ART, but to understand when it is appropriate and how it can complement other treatments.

Because sometimes the most important question isn't: “What treatment should we do?”

It's: “What does this particular athlete need today?”

Recovery Tool

Training creates stress on your body. Recovery is where adaptation happens.

Dry needling can be incorporated into a comprehensive recovery plan to help address muscle tightness, trigger points, and areas that aren't recovering the way you'd like.

Train hard. Recover smart.

Weekend warrior? Your body knows. 😅

You ski hard all weekend.
Run a few miles.
Play 18 holes.
Hit the gym.
Ride your bike.
Then spend Monday wondering why everything feels tight.

Sound familiar?

Active Release Techniques can help address soft-tissue restrictions that may contribute to pain, stiffness, or altered movement.

And because ART is only one piece of the puzzle, we can combine it with adjustments, corrective exercises, dry needling, K-tape, recovery tools, or shockwave therapy when appropriate.

You don't have to stop being active. We want to help you stay active.
