How Many Shockwave Therapy Sessions Do I Need?

How many shockwave therapy sessions do I need?

Most patients need 3–5 sessions spaced one week apart. Here’s a condition-by-condition breakdown:

• Plantar fasciitis: 3–5 sessions
• Tennis / golfer’s elbow: 3–5 sessions
• Calcific tendinitis shoulder: 3–6 sessions
• Achilles tendinopathy: 4–6 sessions
• Patellar tendinopathy: 3–5 sessions
• Rotator cuff tendinopathy: 3–5 sessions
• Hamstring / hip flexor: 4–6 sessions

When will I feel results?

Many patients notice reduced pain after the first or second session. Full benefit continues developing over 6–12 weeks as new collagen forms. Complete the full course even if you feel improvement early.

Total cost?

$99/session. 3–5 sessions = $297–$495 total. 10-session package available at reduced rate. Financing through CareCredit. No insurance required.
