Tired of living with back pain that never seems to go away? Whether it’s a constant ache, sharp discomfort when you move, or a lingering issue that flares up at the worst times, back pain can take control of your life. Maybe you’ve tried rest, stretching, or even painkillers—but the relief is always temporary. And surgery? That’s a last resort you’d rather avoid.
At mPower Physical Therapy, we help people just like you find real, lasting relief with Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) for back pain. This cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment doesn’t just mask the pain—it stimulates healing at the source, helping you get back to the activities you love without relying on medications, injections, or surgery.
Why Is Your Back Pain Sticking Around?
Back pain is frustrating because it often feels like no one has the right answer. You might hear that it’s just “getting older” or that you need to strengthen your core. But the real issue? Many back injuries stop healing properly over time.
Pain from conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, or SI Joint degeneration is often linked to poor blood flow and tissue degeneration. What we have found in our practice is that SI joint degeneration happens more often than we thought. It is not an alignment issue, but actual joint degeneration causing pain in the lower back and tightness in the hip.
What that means practically is that your body isn’t getting the nutrients it needs to repair itself. That’s where Shockwave Therapy for back pain comes in—it reactivates your body’s natural healing process by improving circulation, breaking down scar tissue, and stimulating new tissue growth.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) for back pain uses high-energy acoustic waves to target damaged tissue, stimulating increased blood flow and cellular repair. Think of it as a wake-up call for your body to heal itself. The benefits of ESWT compared to other treatments is deeper penetration, up to 12.5 cm in depth. This allows us to reach problem areas that most other treatment options cannot.
This makes ESWT very helpful for targeting joint pain associated with arthritis, trigger points or deeper tissue (such as the hip and SI joints). It can also speed up the healing process of fractures in the spine.
ESWT is laser focused and has the ability to very specifically target the area of damage in the body. ESWT is also strong enough to not only stimulate growth factors, increase blood flow and bring in healing nutrition to the cells, but it has the ability to trigger stem cell activation and differentiation to help speed the healing process and truly regenerate the tissue.
Here’s what happens during a session:
- A specialized handheld device is applied to the affected area.
- Pulses of energy penetrate deep into the tissue, reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and breaking up adhesions that contribute to stiffness and discomfort.
- The process jumpstarts healing in areas that were previously stuck in a cycle of pain and dysfunction.
Each session takes about 20-30 minutes, and most patients experience improvement in just a few treatments. Because this therapy works at a cellular level, the effects are long-lasting—offering real relief rather than just a temporary fix.
We recommend 6 treatments to get the full effects of stem cell production and truly regenerate the tissue which continues on with improvements 3 months after the last treatment.
