What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is an innovative, painless method supporting the body’s healing processes. By sending targeted acoustic waves into injured tissue, it effectively reduces discomfort and accelerates recovery from conditions like sprains, fractures, and muscular pain.
This forward-thinking technique boosts the body’s production of healing growth factors critical for tissue repair and recovery.
When compared to traditional treatments, shockwave therapy offers distinct advantages, including:
- Higher effectiveness and fewer risks than corticosteroid injections
- More powerful regenerative effects than stem cell injections
- Faster recovery time, enabling quicker returns to activity
Perfect for anyone seeking fast, reliable, and drug-free pain relief, shockwave therapy is quickly becoming a top option for treating musculoskeletal pain.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
The treatment uses high-energy acoustic waves directed at the injury site. These waves create controlled microtrauma, stimulating the body’s innate repair process, which improves circulation, encourages cellular regeneration, enhances joint function, and breaks down damaged tissue and adhesions.
The result? Faster relief and accelerated musculoskeletal healing.
Is Shockwave Therapy Safe?
Yes! Shockwave therapy is safe when administered by a trained provider following a proper evaluation. Not every patient is a candidate, so it’s crucial to work with a knowledgeable chiropractor or therapist to ensure it’s appropriate for you and your injury.
Does Shockwave Therapy Hurt?
Most patients do not consider shockwave therapy painful, but some experience mild irritation due to the pulsing sensation. Discomfort levels vary depending on the area being treated; bony regions may feel more intense than muscular ones.
Most of our patients tolerate the service well, describing the feeling as mildly uncomfortable at times. If necessary, we can adjust the intensity for improved comfort.
Some patients may notice slight tenderness, swelling, bruising, or soreness after the session. These side effects typically resolve quickly.
Is Shockwave Therapy Right for Me & My Condition?
Is Shockwave Therapy Right for Me & My Condition?
Athletes of all types and levels often rely on shockwave therapy to shorten recovery time and return to training sooner. From pulled muscles and fractures to sprains and more, many sports-related injuries respond very well to this treatment. It’s even considered the gold standard among some professional athletes.
But this therapy isn’t just for the athletic. It’s equally effective for those with joint limitations and tissue discomfort due to a more sedentary lifestyle or a chronic condition.
You may be a good candidate for shockwave therapy if you’re dealing with any of the following:
- Sports injuries
- Headaches and migraines
- Shoulder pain, including frozen shoulder and rotator cuff injuries
- Elbow pain, including tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Low back pain
- Sciatica
- Knee pain, including runner’s knee, jumper’s knee, and ACL injuries
- Shin splints
- Foot dysfunction and pain, including plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendinopathy and Achilles tendon bursitis
- Join degeneration, such as in the knee or hip, including arthritis
- Muscle strains, including calf strain
- Men’s health, including erectile dysfunction
- Women’s health, including pelvic floor imbalance
Shockwave therapy often provides results when other methods or the body’s own healing have fallen short.
