Acoustic Wave Therapy for Tennis, Golf & Paddle Athletes (Lake Forest, IL)

Elbow, heel, knee, or shoulder pain doesn’t just “show up”—it builds one swing, one serve, one pivot at a time. Acoustic Wave Therapy is a non-invasive option designed to support tissue recovery so you can get back to training and playing with more confidence.

The “Repetitive Motion” Problem

in Lake Forest, Illinois

If you play tennis, golf, paddle/pickleball, or train hard throughout the week, your body tends to take stress in the same places over and over:

  • Elbow & forearm: grip-heavy swings, backhands, wrist load

  • Heel & Achilles: push-off, court movement, walking the course, treadmill miles

  • Knee tendon pain: jumping, stopping/starting, strength training volume

  • Shoulder irritation: serves, overheads, rotational swing mechanics

When those areas get irritated, rest alone isn’t always enough—especially if the issue has been lingering.


Clinical research, real-world application

in Lake Forest, Illinois

RegenOMedix also publishes shockwave-therapy education that cites clinical guidance and studies around patient selection, treatment parameters, and tolerability—important when you’re treating high-demand athletes who want to stay in their sport. Their referenced materials include best-practice guidance for ESWT in musculoskeletal medicine and published work discussing side effects/tolerability in tennis elbow, alongside additional reviews covering orthopedic indications like plantar fasciitis and other musculoskeletal pain patterns. At The Forest Lounge, we take that same “evidence first” mindset into your care—screening for fit, targeting the right tissue, and recommending a plan based on what your body does after session one.

What Is Acoustic Wave Therapy?

Acoustic Wave Therapy (often referred to as shockwave therapy / ESWT) uses targeted sound-wave pulses applied to specific soft-tissue areas—commonly tendons and their attachment points—with the goal of encouraging a healthier tissue response over time.

At The Forest Lounge, we use this as a performance-minded option for active adults who want a non-surgical, non-injection approach that fits real training schedules.

What Does It Feel Like + Is There Downtime?

Most people describe it as strong pressure/tapping over a tight or tender area. Some spots are more sensitive than others, but it’s typically well tolerated.

Downtime is usually minimal—many active adults return to normal routines quickly. Your provider will guide you on smart training modifications based on your sport, symptoms, and recovery timeline.
