We are pleased to announce the addition of Orthospec™ – Medispec’s Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) to our clinical services. This non-invasive treatment modality uses focused acoustic waves to stimulate healing in musculoskeletal tissues, particularly for chronic tendonopathies and soft tissue injuries.

Call (410)644-1880 for a consult to get more information.

Some Key Clinical Uses:
Plantar fasciitis
Achilles tendonitis
Patellar tendonitis
Shoulder calcific tendonitis
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome
Medial/lateral epicondylitis

How It Works:
Orthospec™ ESWT delivers controlled acoustic pulses to targeted areas, increasing blood flow, promoting microtrauma, and stimulating the body’s natural healing response. This mechanical stimulation helps trigger cellular repair, collagen production, and neovascularization to support tissue regeneration and long-term pain relief. Treatments are administered in under 15 minutes and typically require 3 sessions for full effect.
