Treatment at Mountain Valley
Targeted sound-wave therapy to help relieve persistent tendon pain and support recovery. Our Chattanooga focused system brings precision to the areas that need attention.

The science behind your care

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:
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.
