Shockwave Therapy in Midland & Odessa, TX
Non-Surgical Pain Relief & Tissue Regeneration
Shockwave Therapy, also known as Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT) or Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. This therapy is widely used to treat chronic pain, tendon injuries, plantar fasciitis, erectile dysfunction (ED), and certain forms of body shaping and cellulite reduction.
At Permian Basin Accident & Injury Clinics, we offer state-of-the-art radial shockwave therapy to help patients recover faster, relieve pain, and improve mobility without surgery or medications.
How Shockwave / Acoustic Wave Therapy Works
Shockwave therapy delivers focused acoustic energy into targeted tissues. These sound waves:
- Create controlled cellular micro-trauma
- Stimulate the body’s intrinsic repair mechanisms
- Increase blood circulation
- Improve oxygen delivery
- Trigger new blood vessel formation (neovascularization)
- Promote tissue regeneration
This temporary increase in cell membrane permeability enhances the exchange of cellular nutrients, helping damaged tissue heal more efficiently. Over time, shockwave therapy reduces inflammation, breaks up scar tissue and calcifications, and restores healthy function.

Proven Clinical Effectiveness
ESWT has been used internationally for decades.
In the United States, an FDA-submitted clinical study evaluated patients with chronic plantar fasciitis, with or without heel spurs.
The results were impressive:
Patients experienced an average pain reduction of 92% after only one treatment.
These outcomes make shockwave therapy an attractive alternative to surgery, steroid injections, and long-term medication use.
What to Expect During Treatment
- Sessions typically last 15–20 minutes
- No anesthesia or injections required
