Superior Technology. Proven Results.

Orlando Spinal Aid Disc Center is a leading provider of advanced Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), led by Dr. David Nahali.

When pain lasts for a long time, the body can stop treating the area like an active injury. Healing slows down, inflammation may linger, and relief becomes harder to achieve.

Focused shockwave therapy delivers acoustic energy deep into the affected tissue to stimulate a controlled healing response. This helps “wake up” the body’s natural repair process without surgery or injections.

The treatment also encourages soft tissue cells to release healing-related biochemical signals. These signals support improved circulation and may help the body form new tiny blood vessels in the treated tissue, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the area

Care You Can Trust

Advanced Focused Wave THerapy

Dr. David Nahali, D.C.

Dr. David Nahali has over 26 years of experience in non-surgical spine and joint care, helping patients avoid surgery and get back to a normal life. 

He specializes in disc conditions such as herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic back and neck pain.

His approach combines spinal decompression therapy, focused shockwave therapy, and Class IV laser therapy to target the source of pain and support faster healing.

FAQs

Focused Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (f-ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses precisely targeted acoustic energy to stimulate deep tissue healing, reduce pain, and restore function.

Unlike other therapies that only calm inflammation, focused shockwave reactivates your body’s regenerative response — increasing blood flow, stimulating growth factors, breaking up scar tissue, and triggering the repair of stubborn soft-tissue and joint problems.
 

It’s not just pain relief. It’s tissue regeneration.

Yes. Shockwave Therapy is FDA-approved for the treatment of multiple musculoskeletal conditions, such as plantar fasciitis, lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), and more.

It is widely used in sports medicine and physical rehabilitation clinics across the U.S.

✅ Chronic Tendon & Soft         Tissue Injuries

  • Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)

  • Achilles tendinopathy

  • Tennis & golfer’s elbow (lateral/medial epicondylitis)

  • Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)

  • Rotator cuff and shoulder pain

✅ Calcifications & Scar                Tissue

  • Calcific tendonitis of the shoulder

  • Post-surgical adhesions or fibrosis

  • Myofascial trigger points

✅ Degenerative Joint                  Conditions

  • Knee and hip osteoarthritis

  • Shoulder Osteoarthritis

  • Chronic joint pain with stiffness or swelling

✅ Fibrotic Disorders

  • Dupuytren’s contracture and other hand fibroses (emerging evidence supports its use)

In each of these conditions, the body has stopped trying to heal, and focused shockwave gives it a reason to start again.

Most patients experience significant improvement after 4-6 treatments, typically performed weekly. The exact number of treatments for your condition depends on the diagnosis, severity, and your body’s response.

You may feel some minor discomfort during the treatment, similar to a pulsing or tapping sensation.

However, treatments are brief, typically 10 minutes or less, and discomfort usually decreases as your condition improves.

Most patients tolerate the treatment well without any pain medication.

Shockwave Therapy is very safe, with minimal or no side effects. Some patients may experience temporary mild redness, soreness, or swelling at the treatment site. These effects typically subside within 24-48 hours.

No. One of the many advantages of Shockwave Therapy is that it is non-invasive with no downtime. Most people can resume normal activity immediately after their session.

Shockwave therapy is considered an elective treatment and is not covered by most insurance plans, so services are provided on a self-pay basis.

We offer affordable self-pay options and flexible payment plans. We believe everyone should have access to safe and effective care, including Shockwave Therapy.

Clinical studies have reported success rates of 80–90% for many patients with various painful conditions.

Patients often report significant improvement in pain and function within 4-6 sessions, and sometimes even after just a few sessions.

Even chronic, persistent conditions that have not responded well to other treatments often respond well to Shockwave Therapy.

Yes. Shockwave Therapy can be safely used in patients who have other medical problems, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart problems, lung problems, pacemakers, and more, because it is very safe and non-invasive,, without any medications, needles, or surgery.

No. Referrals are not needed. Even though Dr. Rodriguez is a specialist, he is also a primary care provider, so no referral is needed. You can contact us directly to schedule a consultation and begin your treatment plan as soon as you are ready.

Focused shockwave therapy is performed right in our office. Here’s what a typical session looks like:

  1. Evaluation: We identify your exact pain source and tailor your protocol.

  2. Treatment: Each session lasts approximately 5–15 minutes, depending on your diagnosis. A full treatment course is typically 5-6 sessions, administered 1-2 weeks apart.

  3. Aftercare: Mild soreness is normal for 24–48 hours — a sign your body is responding.

  4. Results: Many patients notice improvement within 1–3 sessions, with full benefit after a short series.

There’s no downtime, no injections, and no medication required.
