A WONDERFUL Success Story from one of our patients..."Before starting PT I was not able to lay down on my back without pain. I am now able to lay flat with my legs also flat. This has helped me get more sleep at night. I am able to stretch my lower back after my PT sessions, finally after 2 months of not going able to hardly move. I now walk about 2 miles per day... before I couldn't even walk to my basement." Tom J. If you or someone you care about is in pain call Rehabilitation Specialists of Monroe at (734)241-0560 TODAY!

BREAKTHROUGH PAIN RELIEF ARRIVES IN MONROE, MI: SHOCKWAVE THERAPY NOW AVAILABLE LOCALLY!

Residents of Monroe suffering from chronic muscle and joint pain have a new non-surgical option: extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), a cutting edge treatment, is now being offered by Rehabilitation Specialists of Monroe, located at 905 N. Macomb Street, Suite 3, Monroe, Mi 48162.

Originally developed from technology used to break up kidney stones, shockwave therapy has evolved into a proven method for treating stubborn musculoskeletal conditions, sending high energy sound waves into injured tissue, stimulating the body’s natural healing processes deep within the tissue, without incisions. This increases blood flow, promotes new vessel growth, boosts collagen production, helps dissolve painful calcifications and break up scar tissue, reduces inflammation and stimulates stem cells and growth factors essential for tissue repair.

This technology can be used for many conditions including plantar fasciitis (Heel Pain) Achilles tendinopathy, rotator cuff issues, tennis elbow, patellar tendinopathy and other chronic tendon or facia problems that haven’t responded to rest, physical therapy or injections. The treatments are performed outpatient, require no anesthesia and involve minimal discomfort or downtime. They last about 15-30 minutes and patients frequently see significant improvement after just 3-6 sessions.
