A heel that aches through the first mile. A knee tendon that complains on every squat. A shoulder that flares each time you press overhead.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

After months of stop-and-start progress, many runners, lifters and weekend athletes look into shockwave therapy. Brewster, NY athletes can get it at Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation of NY & CT (PMR), where our office at 1620 Brewster Town Center uses it as one part of a return-to-sport plan.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

Why tendons get stuck, and where shockwave fits<\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Tendons adapt to training more slowly than muscles. When load jumps too fast, with a new mileage goal or heavier lifts, a tendon can become painful and less able to handle force, a problem called tendinopathy. Rest calms pain but doesn\u2019t rebuild capacity, so symptoms return as you ramp back up.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

For shockwave therapy<\/a> in Brewster, NY, PMR uses radial pressure wave (RPW) therapy, delivered through a handheld applicator. Researchers believe the pulses may stimulate repair and briefly dampen pain, making it easier to keep up the strength work that rebuilds a tendon. Our main shockwave therapy page covers the science.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/section>\n
