What the Sports Medicine Clinic Does
The Sports Medicine Clinic at Revive by MWS handles tendon and soft-tissue pain from activity and overuse. Care is device-based and non-invasive: acoustic shockwave, Class IV laser and electromagnetic therapy, applied over a short series of sessions after an evaluation.
How it works
We find the tissue that is failing
Tendon pain usually has a pattern: it hurts at the start of activity, eases, then returns worse afterwards. The evaluation maps that pattern to a specific structure.
We load the tissue deliberately
Acoustic and light-based therapies deliver energy into a defined area. The point is a controlled stimulus to tissue that has stopped responding to ordinary use.
We keep you moving while we do it
These treatments do not require you to stop. What usually changes is how much you do and in what order, and that is written into the plan.
Who this line of care helps
- Tendon pain that has lasted more than six weeks
- Pain that returns every time you go back to the activity
- Heel, elbow, shoulder and kneecap pain from repeated use
- People who want to continue their sport during treatment
- Soft-tissue problems that have not settled with rest
Who it does not help
- A sudden, complete tendon rupture
- An acute injury with visible deformity or an inability to bear weight
- Pain over an area with an active infection or a skin lesion
- Anyone who needs an urgent orthopedic assessment
Treatments in the Sports Medicine Clinic
The treatments delivered in this line of care.
Shockwave therapy
Acoustic pressure waves delivered through a handpiece over a tendon or soft-tissue area. Our unit is a STORZ MEDICAL Duolith SD1 Ultra, and the service page names what it is cleared for.
Class IV laser therapy
Light energy applied over the painful area for several minutes at a time. It is painless, it requires no preparation, and it is usually delivered alongside other work rather than alone.
Read how laser therapy is applied and what a session feels like.
Electromagnetic therapy
Pulsed electromagnetic energy used to stimulate muscle and soft tissue. At Revive it sits alongside the other device work rather than standing alone as a treatment.

Which Approach Tends to Suit Which Problem
How the common options compare, including the ones we do not offer.
| Option | What it involves | Typical course | Invasiveness / downtime | Who it tends to suit | Offered at Revive? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shockwave therapy | Acoustic pressure waves over the painful tendon | A short series of sessions | Non-invasive, no downtime, some discomfort during | Chronic tendinopathy that has stopped improving | Yes |
| Class IV laser therapy | Light energy applied over the area for minutes | Several sessions, often alongside other care | Non-invasive, painless, no downtime | Soft-tissue pain and irritation near the surface | Yes |
| Orthobiologic injection | A preparation from your own blood placed in the tendon | One or a small number of placements | Needle procedure, several sore days | Tendon problems that device therapy alone has not shifted | Yes |
| Bracing and orthotics | A strap, sleeve or insert that changes the load | Worn during activity, for weeks or longer | Non-invasive | Mechanical problems with an obvious load pattern | No |
| Physical therapy | Graded loading and supervised exercise | Several weeks of visits | Non-invasive | Nearly every tendon problem, at some stage | No |
| Surgical repair | Operative repair or release of the tendon | One procedure plus months of rehabilitation | Invasive, significant recovery | A full tear or a failed long course of care | No |
Loading exercise is the backbone of most tendon recovery, and we will send you to a therapist for it rather than pretend a device replaces it.
Where a tendon is fully torn, surgery is the answer and device therapy is not. The evaluation is where that distinction gets made.
Who the Sports Medicine Clinic Is For
Who this tends to suit, and who it does not.
Likely a good fit if
- Your pain is tied to a specific activity and repeats every time
- The problem has lasted more than six weeks despite rest
- You would rather keep playing than stop for a season
- You can attend a short series of appointments over a few weeks
- You are willing to add loading exercise to the plan
Generally not appropriate when
- You heard a pop and the joint or tendon gave way
- You cannot put weight on the limb at all
- There is an open wound or an active infection over the area
- You are looking for a single session that ends the problem
- An imaging report already shows a complete tear
If the evaluation finds a full tear or an injury that needs an orthopedic surgeon, we say so at the first visit rather than starting a course that cannot help.
If this is not the right fit, we will say so at the consultation and point you toward the care that is.
Why Patients Choose Revive by MWS
The shockwave device is named and specified
We use a STORZ MEDICAL Duolith SD1 Ultra and say so. The service page states what the device is cleared for, which is unusual in this market.
Ultrasound before the device goes on
Tendon problems look similar from the outside. Imaging tells us which structure is involved before a course of treatment starts.
Built around people who will not stop moving
Most patients here are retired, active and unwilling to give up their sport. Plans are written to keep you in the activity where that is safe.
One evaluation, three clinical areas
Tendon pain rarely arrives alone. The same visit can route you to the wider practice, starting from the Revive by MWS home page.
Why this clinic exists in a retirement county
Lake County has an unusual sporting profile. Pickleball courts fill at seven in the morning, golf runs year round, and the cycling on the Clermont hills is genuinely serious.
That produces a predictable list of injuries in people in their sixties and seventies: rotator cuffs, elbows, heels and kneecaps. Those are the problems this clinic is built around.
What tendon pain actually is
A painful tendon is usually not inflamed in the way people assume. It is a structure that has been loaded more than it can repair between sessions, and it has changed as a result.
The NIAMS overview of sports injuries is a plain-language account of how these injuries happen and why rest alone often fails to settle them.
What a course looks like here
Sessions are 20 to 45 minutes and are delivered as a short series over several weeks. You will be asked to add loading exercise between visits, because the device work and the exercise do different things.
We re-evaluate partway through. If the tendon has not moved by then, the plan changes rather than continuing on momentum.
Serving Lake and Marion County
Getting here from around Lake and Marion County.
Leesburg sits in the middle of an unusually active retirement region. Patients come from The Villages and Lady Lake for pickleball and golf injuries, from Clermont for cycling and running problems, and from Eustis, Tavares and Mount Dora for everything in between.

Sports Medicine Clinic: Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Most of the people treated here are retired. The category describes the tissue involved, tendons, muscles and soft tissue, not the age of the person using it.
Usually not. What typically changes is volume and order rather than participation. The plan says exactly what to reduce and for how long.
It is uncomfortable while the handpiece is over the sore spot and the intensity is adjustable. Most people describe it as a strong tapping. The discomfort stops when the session does.
Physical therapy loads the tissue through exercise. The devices here deliver energy into the tissue directly. They do different jobs, and most tendon plans need both.
A complete tear is an orthopedic surgical question, and device therapy will not address it. If the evaluation or your imaging suggests that, we refer rather than treat.
