Ready to move past pain and get back to the life you love?

Get lasting relief from chronic tendon & joint pain

without surgery, drugs, or downtime

Denver Vitality Center is one of the only clinics in the United States offering all three advanced regenerative technologies — Focused Shockwave, Radial Shockwave, and EMTT — working together to heal your pain at its source.

What makes us different?

The gold standard in regenerative care

Focused Shockwave

Pinpoint precision that penetrates up to 12cm deep to repair damaged cells and regenerate tissue at the source of your pain.

Radial Shockwave

Broad pressure waves that cover 3-5cm depth to stimulate blood flow, break up scar tissue, and release muscle trigger points.

EMTT

Electromagnetic pulses penetrate up to 18cm, supercharging cellular metabolism, reducing inflammation, and extending results to 12+ months.

EMTT changes everything

Shockwave is the spark that triggers your body’s healing response.

EMTT is the fuel that supercharges every cell in the area to repair, regenerate and rebuild.

Together, they produce results that neither can achieve alone.

Conditions Treated:

  • Achilles and patellar tendinopathy

  • Rotator cuff & shoulder pain

  • Plantar fasciitis & heel pain

  • Tennis & golfer’s elbow

Frequently Asked Questions

  • EMTT (Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy) uses high-energy electromagnetic pulses at 100–300 kHz to stimulate cellular repair in deep tissues. These pulses activate calcium signaling within cells, increase expression of bone-forming genes, and stimulate the body’s natural regenerative processes.

    Clinical research shows that combining EMTT with shockwave therapy improves pain reduction, accelerates healing, and produces longer-lasting results compared with shockwave therapy alone. EMTT delivers approximately 40 percent greater energy than traditional PEMF therapy.

  • The Storz Medical Duolith (shockwave) and Magnetolith (EMTT) systems require significant investment and specialized training. Most clinics offer either focused shockwave or radial shockwave therapy. Only a small number of clinics have added EMTT.

    Our clinic utilizes all three technologies because peer-reviewed research indicates that the combination produces superior treatment outcomes compared with single-modality therapy.

  • Shockwave therapy typically feels like a rhythmic tapping or pulsing sensation. Treatment intensity is adjusted based on patient comfort.

    EMTT is painless. Most patients experience mild warmth or a light tapping sensation during treatment. Clothing does not need to be removed for EMTT therapy.

    Sessions typically last 20 to 30 minutes.

  • Many patients notice improvement after 1 to 3 sessions.

    A typical treatment plan includes 3 to 6 combined therapy sessions. Dr. Mark will determine the appropriate treatment plan during your consultation.

  • There is no required downtime after treatment.

    Patients can return to normal daily activities immediately following the session. High-impact exercise may be limited for 24 to 48 hours depending on the treatment area.

  • Studies show that shockwave therapy alone can provide results lasting 6 to 12 months.

    When combined with EMTT as part of our triple therapy protocol, many patients report results lasting 12 months or longer. The therapy supports tissue repair and regeneration rather than only providing temporary pain relief.

  • Yes. Both shockwave therapy and EMTT are FDA-cleared treatments supported by extensive clinical research.

    Our clinic uses Storz Medical equipment, which is widely used in orthopedic and sports medicine settings.

    EMTT has no known side effects. Shockwave therapy may cause mild soreness in the treatment area that typically resolves within a few hours.

  • Treatment cost depends on the individualized treatment plan.

    Pricing is discussed during your consultation, and payment packages and options are available. Many patients find regenerative therapy more cost-effective than ongoing physical therapy visits, repeated injections, or surgical procedures.
