If rest, stretching, and standard treatment have not solved your pain, shockwave therapy may be the next step.
At Dynamic Sports Medicine, we use MyACT (Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy) — an advanced form of acoustic therapy designed to stimulate healing in damaged tissue and help resolve chronic musculoskeletal pain.
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment used to support healing in tendons, muscles, fascia, and other soft tissue structures. It is especially useful for injuries that have become chronic or have stalled in recovery.

What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy uses targeted acoustic pressure waves to stimulate healing in injured tissue.
At Dynamic Sports Medicine, MyACT therapy delivers focused pulses into the affected area to:
stimulate blood flow
support collagen production
reduce chronic pain
break up scar tissue and calcifications
restart the body’s natural healing response
This makes shockwave therapy a strong option for people dealing with persistent tendon injuries, chronic overuse conditions, and soft tissue pain that has not responded to other conservative care.
Benefits

Stimulates tissue regeneration

What to Expect During a Shockwave Therapy Session
Your first visit begins with an evaluation by one of our sports medicine providers to determine whether shockwave therapy is appropriate for your condition.
A typical session includes comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment.
Safety Considerations
Shockwave therapy may be a strong option for:
athletes dealing with chronic overuse injuries
active adults with tendon pain lasting more than 3 months
people who have tried rest, stretching, sports rehabilitation, or injections without lasting relief
runners and lifters dealing with stubborn soft tissue injuries
patients looking for a non-surgical, drug-free option for chronic pain
Shockwave therapy may not be appropriate for everyone. Your provider will review your health history and determine whether treatment is safe for you.
