Patient Guide & Research

What to Expect — and What the Research Says

Everything you need to know before your first visit at our Aptos clinic serving Santa Cruz County.

During Your Session

Tell the treating provider how the treatment feels and ask for adjustments if needed. Ask what to expect before and after your visit.

Discuss Your Options

Ask how shockwave therapy fits your diagnosis and existing care. A consultation does not replace medical evaluation of new or unexplained symptoms.

Track Your Progress

Discuss changes in pain, movement and daily activities with your provider. Do not assume new or worsening symptoms are a sign that treatment is working.

Your Individual Plan

The number and timing of visits depend on your assessment and response. Results vary, and improvement is not guaranteed.

Understanding the Evidence

Research on extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) uses different devices, treatment settings and patient groups. It does not establish a guaranteed result for this clinic or device.

For persistent plantar fasciitis, NICE guidance describes uncertainty in effectiveness. Discuss evidence, alternatives and risks with a qualified clinician.
