What is Radial Shockwave Therapy
Radial shockwave therapy uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate local circulation, tissue remodeling, and healing activity in painful soft-tissue conditions.

How Does Radial Shockwave Therapy Work?
This treatment is selected when the underlying mechanics, tissue damage, nerve function, or nail condition call for a more precise approach than generic care.
-
Acoustic wave delivery
radial pressure waves are applied to the painful or damaged tissue
-
Circulation support
local blood flow and metabolic activity are stimulated
-
Tissue remodeling
the treatment encourages the body to reorganize irritated or chronically inflamed tissue
-
Pain pathway modulation
shockwave therapy may calm pain signaling in chronic soft-tissue conditions
-
Regenerative planning
it can be combined with laser therapy, orthotics, or biologics when the diagnosis calls for it
-
Progress tracking
response is reviewed over a series of visits and adjusted to the patient's goals

Dr. Lazarus focuses on matching advanced treatment technology to the actual cause of your problem, then combining therapies when that creates a better outcome.
Achilles Tendinitis
For Achilles tendinitis and tendinopathy, shockwave therapy may be used to stimulate tendon healing activity and reduce chronic irritation.
Supports tendon recovery and mobility
Neuropathy Support
In selected neuropathy care plans, radial shockwave may be discussed alongside neoGEN electric cell signaling, Class IV laser therapy, and regenerative treatment options.
Used only when it fits the patient's neuropathy plan

Radial Shockwave Therapy Questions Answered
Dr. Lazarus may use radial shockwave therapy for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, chronic tendon pain, painful soft-tissue conditions, and selected neuropathy support plans after a podiatric evaluation.
No. Radial shockwave therapy is non-invasive. It does not require incisions, anesthesia, or downtime, although temporary soreness can occur after treatment.
The number of sessions depends on the diagnosis, duration of symptoms, and response to care. Dr. Lazarus recommends a plan after evaluating the condition and reviewing your goals.
Yes. Shockwave therapy may be combined with Class IV laser therapy, custom orthotics, regenerative biologics, or the neoGEN device when a combined approach makes sense.
Coverage varies by plan and diagnosis, and some plans may not cover shockwave therapy. Our team can review your benefits and explain any expected out-of-pocket cost before treatment begins.
