Shockwave Therapy in Santa Barbara
Healing at the Speed of Sound
Introducing Extracorporeal shockwave Therapy – a revolutionary shockwave therapy for chronic pain. This noninvasive alternative to medications and injections is free from side effects. It’s been successfully used all over Europe for more than 30 years.
Shockwave Therapy, also known as Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy, is specifically designed to target adhesions, scar tissue, and calcifications that have built up in the body’s connective tissues including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. Shockwave Therapy is 100 times stronger than regular ultrasound therapy.NEW PATIENTS
These build ups occur as the result of repetitive overuse of a certain body part or an acute injury resulting in a strain or sprain. The shockwave uses compressed soundwaves to break up the adhesions, which will increase a patient’s mobility and decrease their pain. Shockwave targets calcium-dense tissue and therefore breaks up the scar tissue (which is largely made of calcium deposits) that is restricting the tissue’s blood supply and impeding healing. Because tissue heals via blood supply, this speeds up the healing process. Most overuse injuries occur near the joints, where these soft tissues have their attachment points, including shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, and ankles. The injuries listed below are just some of the inflammatory conditions that shockwave therapy can treat.
When an injured area is addressed, you can experience a quicker recovery. Shockwave Therapy alleviates pain, improves mobility and boasts a high success rate. One session takes 10-20 minutes to complete. Typically, you will receive a series of 7-10 sessions administered twice weekly. If you are in acute pain, you may see improvement after a single session.

See What Our Patients Are Saying About shockwave Therapy
I have recovered from tennis elbow due to the wonderful shockwave therapy treatments I received at Dr. Bissell’s office. I went there because after a couple of months and visits to three orthopedic doctors I was still in pain and still searching for something that could help. Shockwave therapy was it! After a hand full of treatments and 7 months my elbow is much better. I’m back playing golf again.”

As gym owner and personal trainer in Montecito I know how hard it is to overcome inflammatory overuse injuries, I have seen it in my clients and sometimes in myself. I recently had a small case of knee tendonitis and with a package of shockwave therapy I knocked it right out and haven’t looked back. The shockwave therapy at Bissell Clinic is a missing piece to the healing puzzle.”
