At Unity Move Physical Therapy & Wellness PLLC, we are dedicated to helping you move better and recover faster through innovative, science-based therapies. Our clinic proudly offers Radial Shockwave Therapy (rESWT) in combination with Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBM) — a cutting-edge, non-invasive approach that stimulates your body’s natural healing processes at both the cellular and tissue levels.
What Is Radial Shockwave Therapy?
Radial Shockwave Therapy delivers controlled acoustic pressure waves into injured tissues. These waves:
-
Increase blood flow and cellular metabolism
-
Stimulate collagen and tissue regeneration
-
Break down painful adhesions or calcifications
-
Reduce chronic inflammation and pain sensitivity
Each session takes about 10–15 minutes, and most patients experience meaningful improvement within just a few visits.
What Is Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBM)?
Photobiomodulation Therapy, also known as red and near-infrared light therapy, uses specific wavelengths of light to:
-
Enhance cellular energy (ATP) production
-
Reduce oxidative stress and inflammation
-
Improve microcirculation
-
Support nerve and muscle recovery
PBM has been clinically shown to accelerate healing in soft tissue and nerve injuries, making it an ideal complement to physical therapy and shockwave treatment.
Why Combine Shockwave and Photobiomodulation?
When used together, Shockwave Therapy and Photobiomodulation create a synergistic healing effect:
| Shockwave Therapy | Photobiomodulation Therapy |
|---|---|
| Stimulates tissue regeneration through mechanical signaling | Activates cellular metabolism and mitochondrial repair |
| Increases localized circulation | Enhances oxygen utilization and energy production |
| Breaks down chronic adhesions | Reduces inflammation and pain sensitivity |
| Triggers acute healing response | Supports sustained cellular recovery |
This integrated approach helps you recover faster, reduce pain more effectively, and restore functional movement—especially for chronic tendinopathies, plantar fasciitis, shoulder pain, or delayed tissue healing.
Conditions We Treat with Combined Therapy
-
Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
-
Achilles and patellar tendinopathies
-
Rotator cuff and shoulder pain
-
Tennis or golfer’s elbow
-
Chronic muscle tightness and trigger points
-
Post-injury or post-surgical soft tissue recovery
Our clinicians will tailor your program using both modalities strategically—targeting pain relief first, followed by tissue regeneration and neuromuscular retraining.
What to Expect
-
Safe, non-invasive, and drug-free
-
No downtime or anesthesia required
-
Mild temporary soreness possible after treatment
-
Visible improvements often within 2–4 sessions
At Unity Move, these therapies are integrated into a personalized care plan that may also include manual therapy, corrective exercise, and movement analysis—ensuring comprehensive recovery and long-term success.
