What Treatment Looks Like
- Evaluate the condition and movement pattern. We assess where the pain is coming from and what's keeping it overloaded.
- Deliver shockwave treatment. The treatment is used to stimulate healing in tissue that has stalled out.
- Build strength and tolerance between visits. You get the rehab side too, so the area is better prepared for real-life loading.
- Adjust based on your response. The plan isn't one-size-fits-all; it evolves as pain, function, and activity tolerance improve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does insurance cover shockwave therapy?
A: Most commercial insurance plans do not cover shockwave therapy. Coverage and self-pay pricing can vary, so please contact our Greeley or Denver office for current details.
How many sessions will I need?
A: Most patients complete a program of 3-6 sessions, with initial improvement often noticeable after the first 2-3. Complex or long-standing injuries may benefit from a more extended treatment program. Your provider will evaluate your condition at your first visit and give you a realistic plan.
How soon will I notice results?
A: Many patients notice initial improvement after the first 2-3 sessions, with fuller results typically developing over the full 3-6 session program. The healing response continues for weeks after your program ends, meaning results often keep improving even after treatment is complete. Your provider tracks your progress throughout so you can see real change, not just feel it.
What does a shockwave session feel like?
A: Most patients describe it as a deep pressure or vibration, similar to a focused deep tissue massage. Sensitive areas may feel mildly uncomfortable, but it is generally well-tolerated. Your provider adjusts intensity based on your feedback throughout the session.
Is there downtime after treatment?
A: Most patients continue normal daily activities following treatment. Some mild soreness around the treated area is common and typically resolves within 24-48 hours. Your provider will give specific guidance based on your condition and the area being treated.
