Most soft-tissue injuries settle in a few weeks. Some do not. The blood supply to tendons and worn tissue is poor, healing stalls partway, and you are left with pain that has not changed in months.
Shockwave is built for exactly that situation: an injury the body has quietly given up on.
A handheld device delivers acoustic pressure waves into the injured tissue. Those waves do something rest cannot: they restart the repair process.
The waves increase blood flow to an area that had little, stimulate the metabolic activity that rebuilds tissue, and break down the scar and calcification that block healing. No incision, no medication, no downtime afterward.
Dr. Atzmon uses it for pain that has outlasted rest, including:
The common thread is tissue that should have healed by now and has not.
Because the device treats tissue, and someone still has to find the right tissue. Intensity, depth, and the exact target are clinical decisions, and aiming a machine at the sore spot is not the same as treating the cause.
Dr. Atzmon examines you first, and shockwave becomes one part of a plan alongside adjustments, decompression, and rehabilitation rather than a standalone appointment.
Same day in most cases, and we are open Saturday mornings. No referral is needed.
We are in network with most major New Jersey carriers. Coverage for shockwave varies by plan, so we verify your benefits before your visit and go over what to expect, so nothing about the cost is a surprise from us.
