Does hip pain make even simple movements feel like a challenge? Whether it’s nagging stiffness, sharp discomfort in your groin or buttock, or an old injury that just won’t heal, the frustration of limited mobility can take a toll. But here’s the good news—you don’t have to just “deal with it.”
At mPower Physical Therapy, we’re thrilled to offer Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment for hip pain. This breakthrough therapy jumpstarts your body’s natural healing process, reduces pain, and restores function—without surgery, injections, or long recovery times. We have an 82% success rate when using radial and focus shockwave!
What Is Shockwave Therapy for Hip Pain?
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is an advanced treatment that uses acoustic pressure waves to target damaged tissue, stimulate blood circulation, and accelerate the healing process. This therapy is highly effective for relieving pain caused by hip conditions such as:
- Hip bursitis
- Tendonitis or tendinopathy
- Muscle strains
- Hip arthritis
- Chronic hip pain due to degeneration or overuse
Unlike traditional treatments that only mask symptoms, Shockwave Therapy directly addresses the root cause of pain, promoting long-term recovery and mobility.
Surgery, medications, or injections aren’t your only options—activate your body’s natural healing defenses with Shockwave therapy.
How Does ESWT Work?
Let’s talk about the structures that create pain in your body. Most people think that the cartilage worn down is what is causing the pain. Actually the worn down cartilage is not what causes the pain in the hip joint. It is the structures around the hip including the bone. Most of the time as we get older, injuries stop healing and there ends up being a lack of blood to those areas which make them degenerative (whether that is the soft tissue or the bone). The lack of blood supply is what is causing the pain.
So How does ESWT WORK? It revascularizes those areas (increased blood flow) and starts the healing process all over again. This includes the bone too! When that happens your pain starts to go away because your body’s natural healing gets activated again. Regeneration happens as well with the production of your body’s own stem cells!
During your treatment session, a trained clinician applies a gel to the skin over the affected area, followed by the use of a handheld device that delivers controlled shockwaves. These waves penetrate deep into the tissue, breaking up calcifications, reducing inflammation, and stimulating cellular repair. Each session lasts about 10-15 minutes, with most patients experiencing relief after just a few treatments.
Key benefits of Shockwave Therapy for Hip Pain include:
- Faster healing: Encourages tissue regeneration and recovery
- Pain reduction: Reduces discomfort and stiffness
- Improved mobility: Restores movement and function
- Non-invasive approach: No surgery, no injections, no downtime
- Long-lasting results: Targets the underlying cause of pain rather than masking symptoms
