Shockwave Therapy for Orthopedic Injuries, Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, and Abdominal Scar Tissue
At Pelvic Path Physical Therapy, we use shockwave therapy to treat both orthopedic and pelvic health conditions—including specialized application to the pelvic floor, abdominal tissues, and post-surgical scars that many clinics cannot address.
About Shockwave Therapy at Pelvic Path
Shockwave therapy uses targeted acoustic waves to stimulate and accelerate the body’s natural healing response. This advanced, non-invasive treatment helps increase blood flow, break down scar tissue, and activate tissue repair.
No Surgery
Heal naturally without invasive procedures. Shockwave therapy stimulates your body’s own repair process, no incisions, no downtime.
Relief
Feel results in just a few sessions. Targeted acoustic waves reduce pain and inflammation so you can get back to your life sooner.
Lasting Results
Address the root cause, not just symptoms. Shockwave therapy promotes long-term tissue regeneration and sustained healing.
Shockwave therapy is ideal for those who want to stop living with chronic pain and finally feel like themselves again.
Shockwave therapy has been used for many years in orthopedic and rehabilitation medicine and is supported by a growing body of research showing its ability to stimulate tissue repair, improve circulation, and reduce chronic pain.
Because of our specialized pelvic health training, Pelvic Path Physical Therapy is uniquely positioned to apply shockwave therapy to pelvic floor and abdominal tissues—areas that many clinics are not equipped to treat.
This allows us to treat conditions such as:
- erectile dysfunction
- pelvic floor pain
- tailbone (coccyx)
- pain
- urinary incontinence
- C-section scar tissue
- abdominal adhesions

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is shockwave therapy painful?
Shockwave therapy can create a strong but brief sensation in the treated tissue. The intensity is carefully adjusted during treatment—typically reaching a therapeutic level that stimulates healing while remaining tolerable for the patient. Sessions usually last only 10–15 minutes.
In many cases, areas of dysfunctional or irritated tissue are more sensitive to the treatment. This feedback helps us accurately identify and target the tissues that need treatment most. Most patients tolerate the treatment well, and the intensity can be adjusted throughout the session.
2. What conditions can shockwave therapy treat?
Shockwave therapy can be effective for a variety of orthopedic and pelvic health conditions, including chronic tendon injuries, tight tissues, scar tissue, and pelvic floor dysfunction. We’ve successfully treated painful areas including the shoulder, elbow, neck, hip, knee, and foot.
At Pelvic Path Physical Therapy, we also apply shockwave therapy to pelvic floor and abdominal tissues, which allows us to treat conditions such as erectile dysfunction, pelvic floor pain, tailbone pain, urinary incontinence, C-section scars, and abdominal adhesions. See the list above for more examples of conditions we treat.
3. Can shockwave therapy help erectile dysfunction?
Research has shown that low-intensity shockwave therapy can help improve blood flow and stimulate tissue repair in the penis—two key factors involved in erectile function. Studies have found that many men with vascular-related erectile dysfunction experience improved erections after a series of treatments.
At Pelvic Path Physical Therapy, we combine shockwave therapy with specialized male pelvic floor physical therapy, addressing both circulation and pelvic floor muscle function. This comprehensive approach can be especially helpful for men experiencing erectile dysfunction after prostate surgery or pelvic floor dysfunction. Many men appreciate that this approach focuses on improving the underlying tissue health rather than relying only on medication, injections, pumps, or surgery.
