Shockwave Therapy for Back Pain: Can It Help?

Can shockwave therapy help with back pain?

Shockwave therapy is effective for specific types of back pain — particularly those caused by chronic muscle tension, tendon attachment pain, and myofascial trigger points. It is most effective for back pain with a musculoskeletal soft tissue component, rather than disc-related or neurological pain.

What types of back pain does shockwave treat?

• Chronic lower back muscle pain and spasm
• Sacroiliac joint pain and surrounding tendon irritation
• Myofascial trigger points in the paraspinal muscles
• Lumbar tendon attachment pain
• Hip flexor and piriformis involvement contributing to lower back pain

What back conditions is shockwave NOT for?

Shockwave is not indicated for back pain caused by herniated discs, spinal stenosis, nerve root compression, or fractures. A proper consultation will determine whether it’s appropriate for your condition.
