Shockwave Therapy
Non-Invasive Pain Relief with Advanced Shockwave Therapy
At Serenoa Vitality and Wellness, we offer Shockwave Therapy using the Chattanooga RPW2 device, a state-of-the-art solution for patients struggling with chronic pain, limited range of motion, or slow-healing musculoskeletal injuries. This non-surgical treatment uses radial pressure waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing response—making it ideal for those dealing with plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, shoulder tendinopathy, Achilles tendonitis, and more.
Whether you're an athlete trying to return to peak performance or someone living with long-term discomfort, Shockwave Therapy provides a safe, evidence-based path to relief and recovery without downtime. The treatment is performed in-office, requires no anesthesia, and can help you regain mobility and reduce inflammation over a series of brief sessions.
How Shockwave Therapy Promotes Healing and Long-Term Pain Reduction
Shockwave Therapy works by delivering high-energy acoustic pulses—also known as radial pressure waves—directly into injured or chronically inflamed soft tissue. These waves create controlled microtrauma at the cellular level, which stimulates the body’s natural repair mechanisms. As part of this process, new blood vessels begin to form (a process called neovascularization), bringing increased oxygenation and nutrient delivery to the treated area. This influx of blood flow accelerates tissue regeneration and helps flush out metabolic waste, supporting faster and more complete healing. In addition, the shockwaves help break apart adhesions, scar tissue, and calcifications that often build up in overused or injured areas, restoring healthy tissue function and improving overall mobility.
Another important mechanism of shockwave therapy is its ability to modulate pain. By desensitizing nerve endings and disrupting pain signal pathways, the treatment offers immediate and lasting relief for many patients—even those who haven’t responded well to traditional interventions like rest, physical therapy, or medication. The result is a powerful, drug-free solution that can reduce or even eliminate chronic discomfort while addressing the root causes of dysfunction. Best of all, shockwave therapy is non-invasive, requires no anesthesia or incisions, and involves minimal downtime, making it an ideal option for individuals seeking an effective, low-risk path toward recovery and long-term pain management.

there is a synergistic effect that neither technology can achieve on its own.










The addition of RF energy optimizes fat reduction. EMSCULPT NEO delivers unprecedented muscle development via HIFEM. This energy penetrates the skin via a proprietary applicator. The current of energy stimulates the muscle tissue causing it to contract. These muscle contractions are known as supramaximal contractions. This type of contraction is far more powerful than anything you can achieve manually. Each 30-minute session induces more than 20,000 contractions. The tension of these contractions forces the body to adapt to the stress by creating new muscle cells and strengthening the already existing muscle fibers.
Before the contractions, the radio frequency heats underlying tissue and warms the muscle up in preparation for the intense contractions. Besides the synergistic effect of the RF technology addition, the dual-energy triggers lipolysis or fat cell death. Thermal energy disrupts the fat cell, causing them to melt. The dead cells are naturally gathered by the body and process out as waste. Once the fat cells are removed, they are gone for good. This leads to long-lasting results.
Shockwave Therapy works by delivering high-energy acoustic pulses into affected tissues. These pulses trigger cellular regeneration, increase blood flow, break down scar tissue, and interrupt pain signals—all without invasive procedures or medication. The result is faster recovery, improved mobility, and long-lasting pain relief.

Shockwave Therapy is commonly used to treat plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis, rotator cuff injuries, muscle pain, and other chronic soft tissue injuries.
Most patients tolerate the procedure well. You may feel slight discomfort during the treatment, similar to a deep tissue massage, but this usually subsides quickly.
A typical treatment plan includes 3–6 sessions, spaced about a week apart. Your provider will recommend a plan based on your specific condition and goals.
No. Shockwave Therapy is non-invasive, and most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment, though high-impact activity should be avoided for 24–48 hours.
