Question 3

How does shockwave therapy work?

Aim High Health Clinical Team · Accepted Answer

Shockwave therapy (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy or ESWT) delivers focused acoustic waves deep into injured tissue. These high-energy pulses stimulate the body's natural healing response by: increasing blood flow to the area, breaking down calcifications and scar tissue, stimulating cell regeneration and collagen production, and triggering the release of growth factors. It's particularly effective for chronic tendon conditions like tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, and rotator cuff injuries that haven't responded to other treatments.

Question 4

What is the best treatment for plantar fasciitis?

Aim High Health Clinical Team · Accepted Answer

The most effective treatments for plantar fasciitis include: Shockwave therapy (ESWT), which has an 80%+ success rate for chronic cases and stimulates healing in the damaged fascia; chiropractic adjustments to address biomechanical issues in the foot, ankle, and leg; specific stretching exercises for the plantar fascia and calf muscles; and custom orthotics to provide proper arch support. Most patients see significant improvement within 6-8 weeks. If you've tried rest and stretching without relief, shockwave therapy is often the breakthrough treatment.

Question 5

What payment methods do you accept?

Aim High Health Clinical Team · Accepted Answer

We accept cash, personal checks, all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), and HSA/FSA cards. Payment is expected at the time of service. We can provide you with detailed receipts and superbills for insurance reimbursement if needed. For patients requiring extended care, we offer interest-free payment plans to make treatment accessible.

Question 6

How many shockwave therapy sessions will I need?

Aim High Health Clinical Team · Accepted Answer

Most patients require 3-6 shockwave therapy sessions, typically scheduled one week apart. Each session lasts about 10-15 minutes. Many patients begin feeling improvement after 2-3 sessions, though the full healing process continues for several weeks after the final treatment as your body regenerates tissue. Success rates for conditions like tennis elbow and plantar fasciitis exceed 80%. Your treatment plan will be customized based on your specific condition and response to therapy.

Question 7

How long does it take to recover from a sports injury?

Aim High Health Clinical Team · Accepted Answer

Recovery time varies by injury type and severity: minor muscle strains may heal in 1-3 weeks, moderate sprains and strains typically take 4-8 weeks, tendonitis usually requires 6-12 weeks, and ligament injuries can take 2-6 months. The key factors are: how quickly you begin treatment (early intervention speeds recovery), the treatment approach used (active rehabilitation beats rest alone), and following your treatment plan consistently. We focus on not just healing the injury but also addressing underlying causes to prevent re-injury when you return to sports.
