Shockwave Therapy
in Jacksonville, FL
Recovery starts with understanding how your body heals. Shockwave therapy delivers focused acoustic energy that helps relieve pain, improve circulation, and stimulate the body’s natural repair process. It’s an effective, non-invasive option for patients dealing with chronic pain, tendon injuries, or muscle tightness that hasn’t improved with rest alone.
Shockwave therapy can also support sexual health, joint function, and performance recovery, helping you move and feel better every day.
If you’re looking for lasting results, this treatment may be the next step in your journey to wellness.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave treatment (ESWT), uses controlled acoustic pulses to stimulate blood flow, break down scar tissue, and activate healing cells in the body. These sound waves travel through skin and soft tissue, promoting collagen production and faster recovery in areas that are slow to heal.
Sessions are quick, comfortable, and require no downtime. At Active Health, this treatment is used as part of a structured plan that includes functional evaluation and, when appropriate, regenerative medicine.
This process helps calm pain, improve flexibility, and enhance long-term function without surgery or long-term medication.

Shockwave Therapy FAQs
Can shockwave therapy cause damage?
Shockwave therapy does not cause damage when performed by trained professionals. It specifically targets injured or inflamed tissue without harming healthy structures, making it a safe and low-risk treatment option for recovery.
How does shockwave therapy work?
Shockwave therapy works by sending acoustic pulses into targeted tissues to stimulate blood flow and activate the body’s natural healing response. These pulses help reduce inflammation, break down scar tissue, and promote faster tissue repair.
Can you exercise after shockwave therapy?
You can exercise after shockwave therapy, but it’s important to do so carefully. Light movement, such as walking, is generally fine the same day, while more intense exercise should wait one to two days, depending on the treated area and your provider’s advice.
Is shockwave therapy effective?
Shockwave therapy is highly effective for conditions like plantar fasciitis, tendon pain, and erectile dysfunction. It delivers the best results when combined with a structured treatment plan that supports your specific recovery goals.
