Finally — relief that
actually lasts.
Shockwave therapy helps your body heal itself — no surgery, no injections, no lengthy downtime. If you have been chasing pain for months without real answers, this might be what you have been looking for.
No pressure. No commitment. Just a conversation.
What is shockwave therapy, exactly?
Shockwave therapy sends gentle acoustic waves into injured tissue. These sound pulses wake up your body's natural repair process — increasing blood flow, breaking down calcifications, and stimulating new tissue growth.
Think of it like giving your body a reset signal in the exact spot it has been stuck. Instead of masking pain, it helps your tissue actually heal.
No surgery, no needles
Completely non-invasive. You will feel light pressure during treatment and most people return to normal activity the same day.
Fast sessions, real results
Sessions take 10 to 20 minutes. Most patients notice improvement within 2 to 3 visits — with lasting results, not temporary relief.
Backed by clinical evidence
FDA-cleared technology with decades of research, used by sports medicine doctors and professional athletes worldwide.
Is shockwave therapy right for you?
It works best for chronic, stubborn conditions that have not responded to rest, stretching, or other treatments. Sound familiar? You are not alone.

People just like you, moving freely again
"After two years of plantar fasciitis — orthotics, steroid shots, everything — three shockwave sessions at Vital Six and I was back to running. I only wish I had found them sooner."
"I was told surgery was my only option for my Achilles. Dr. Gearhart had a different idea. Six weeks of shockwave and I am pain-free for the first time in three years."
"My shoulder calcification had been limiting me for months. The team used shockwave as part of a real plan — I am back to overhead lifting with zero pain."
Why we use Radial Shockwave — and why it matters for you
There are two main types of shockwave therapy. Most clinics offer one. We chose the one that actually produces better long-term results for the conditions we treat.
Delivers a concentrated beam of energy to a single pinpoint — high intensity, very small target zone.
Requires specialist imaging equipment to locate and target tissue precisely — higher cost, longer setup.
Best suited for calcific deposits in a fixed location. Less effective for broad tendinopathies and muscle-related pain.
Delivers pressure waves that radiate outward — treating a broader area and stimulating the full healing zone, not just one spot.
More versatile. Effective across a wide range of tendinopathies, trigger points, and chronic muscle conditions — not just calcifications.
Proven in clinical research for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, tennis elbow, and more — with high success rates and zero downtime.
At Vital Six, we do not just point a device at your pain and hope for the best. We combine Radial Shockwave with a full movement assessment and personalized rehab plan — because the machine alone is never the whole answer.
We have got honest answers
Most people describe it as a deep pressure — noticeable, but manageable. We always adjust the intensity to your comfort. A little soreness in the 24 to 48 hours after is normal and signals your body's healing response is activating.
Most people see meaningful improvement in 3 to 6 sessions, spaced about 5 to 7 days apart. Some feel a difference after just 2 to 3. We will give you a realistic expectation after your assessment.
Yes — there is no downtime. Most people head straight back to work or errands. We may suggest avoiding high-impact activity for 24 to 48 hours while your body responds.
Shockwave is most effective for conditions that have been stuck for a long time. We will be honest with you on your free call — if we do not think it will help, we will point you somewhere that will.
Coverage varies by plan. We will walk through your options on your discovery call. HSA and FSA accounts are typically accepted. We never want cost to be a surprise.
In most cases, no. Missouri has limited direct access — you can see us without a referral if you have seen any healthcare provider in the past year. Not sure? Just give us a call.
