The new-patient exam is $270. Follow-up visits are $90 and usually last 10-15 minutes. Focused shockwave visits are $180.

See our pricing page for what each visit includes.

No. Novo is a direct-pay clinic. We provide billing documentation you can submit for possible reimbursement.

Cash, check, major credit cards, HSA, and FSA.

Yes. HSA and FSA cards are accepted for the exam and all treatments.

It depends on your plan. Novo does not bill insurance for any treatment. We provide billing documentation you can submit for possible reimbursement.

An exam: your history, a physical examination, a review of any medical records, and a diagnosis explained to you. No treatment is performed on the first visit. Treatment begins at a follow-up visit if indicated.

No. You can book a new-patient exam directly.

Musculoskeletal pain that can involve muscle and fascia adhesion, including chronic low back pain, neck pain, tension headaches, and joint pain. We treat with focused and radial shockwave therapy, EMTT, and manual adhesion release. See all conditions.

They feel different. Shockwave therapy (ESWT) is often felt as a brief impact from each pressure pulse. EMTT has no mechanical pulse, so patients typically do not feel it the way they feel shockwave.

Most patients experience moderate improvement within the first six visits. We re-evaluate at that point and set the plan from there.

It depends on how severe the problem is and how long you have had it. We explain the plan at your exam and reassess as you go.

Depth and spread. Focused shockwaves concentrate peak pressure at a chosen depth, so they can target a discrete tendon insertion, calcific deposit, or deep fibrotic band. Radial pressure waves start at the applicator and weaken as they travel. They treat a broader, more superficial field, such as fascia, muscle bellies, or the surface of a tendon. We use one or both based on the exam.

EMTT (Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy) uses a high-intensity oscillating magnetic field, delivered through a loop applicator, instead of a mechanical shockwave pulse. We use it for degenerative and inflamed joint pain and pain where tendons attach to bone, such as knee osteoarthritis and rotator cuff problems. It is often paired with focused ESWT when the problem sits in a joint or deep muscle compartment.

Dense, poorly organized connective tissue that can form after overload, injury, or failed healing. It can limit the normal slide between muscle, tendon, and fascia. We examine for it in low back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint pain. It typically does not show on X-ray or MRI, so it is often treated indirectly with stretching or general exercise.

The link is possible but indirect. Restricted tissue changes how muscles and joints share load. Over time, adhesion in the low back or neck may contribute to stiffness, muscle guarding, and altered spinal loading. These factors are also discussed in disc and joint degeneration. When the exam finds adhesion, we treat the restricted tissue directly, not only the pain.
