The science behind your care

Targeted energy.
Personal care.

Supportive hands during a seated movement exercise

Focused shockwave delivers acoustic energy to a selected area of tissue, stimulating biological responses involved in repair and pain relief. At Mountain Valley, we pair our Chattanooga focused system with a rehabilitation plan that builds strength and movement—giving persistent tendon and heel concerns a targeted approach.

We use this approach for concerns such as:

  • Persistent heel and plantar fascia pain
  • Persistent tendon-related pain

Advanced technology. Trained hands.
Our clinical team has completed certification through Torrentia , including training in photobiomodulation and focused shockwave. That education informs how we select treatment settings and combine technology with your rehabilitation plan.

The visit

Know what
comes next.

You should understand the plan
before treatment begins.

01

Understand the problem.

Your clinician reviews the area of concern, your health history, and what you have tried. Together, you discuss whether focused shockwave is an appropriate option.

02

Work within your comfort.

An applicator delivers pulses to the selected area. Treatment can be uncomfortable, and temporary soreness or redness can occur. Tell your clinician how it feels.

03

Plan the steps afterward.

Your clinician explains which activities to continue or modify and how to combine treatment with exercise. Follow-up reviews focus on your symptoms, strength, and the activities you want to get back to.
