Shockwave Therapy
ABOUT Shockwave Therapy
Put an end to chronic pain and speed up your recovery with Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), commonly known as Shockwave Therapy. This cutting-edge treatment has gained widespread recognition for its effectiveness in managing soft tissue and tendon injuries.
For years, many muscle and tendon injuries were only managed symptomatically, often leading to invasive surgery as the only solution. However, with the advancement of shockwave therapy, patients now have a non-invasive, highly effective alternative to traditional treatments.
If you suffer from chronic muscle or tendon pain, shockwave therapy could be the answer. This proven treatment has helped countless patients recover from injuries that once seemed unmanageable.

How It Works
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates the body’s natural healing process. By delivering high-energy acoustic waves to the affected area, it enhances blood circulation, breaks down scar tissue, and promotes tissue regeneration.
The process begins with an initial assessment by the chiropractor, who evaluates your condition and identifies the areas of pain and inflammation. This ensures that shockwave therapy is the right treatment for you and allows for precise targeting of the affected tissues.
A conductive gel is applied to the skin over the treatment area. This gel helps the shockwaves penetrate deeper into the muscles, tendons, and joints while ensuring smooth transmission of energy. Additionally, it enhances comfort during the procedure, making the experience more pleasant.
Using a handheld device, the chiropractor delivers controlled high-energy acoustic waves to the injured area. These waves stimulate blood flow, break down scar tissue, and promote cellular repair, leading to reduced inflammation and pain relief.
Each session lasts about 5-10 minutes, and most patients experience minimal discomfort. While some feel immediate relief, others notice gradual improvement within a few days. A treatment plan of 3-5 sessions, spaced weekly, is usually recommended for the best results.
Conclusion
At your first visit, you will be assessed by our chiropractor to confirm that you are an appropriate candidate for shockwave therapy. For optimal results, typically 3-5 treatments are required, one week apart, with each session lasting about 5 minutes.
Side effects are limited however you may experience some soreness and mild discomfort in the treated area. These side effects are often tolerable and short term. We recommend avoiding high impact exercise for 48 hours following your treatment.
