This revolutionary therapy is an excellent addition to our comprehensive chiropractic services, aimed at improving your overall well-being and performance.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), utilizes high-energy acoustic waves to promote healing and alleviate pain. It is especially effective for conditions such as tendon injuries and tendinosis, where chronic overuse leads to collagen degeneration. This therapy stimulates the body's natural healing processes, encouraging tissue regeneration and repair.
Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is particularly beneficial for the following conditions:
- Plantar Fasciitis: Effectively reduces foot pain.
- Achilles Tendinitis: Provides relief for heel pain.
- Rotator Cuff Tendinosis: Aids in shoulder rehabilitation.
- Tennis Elbow: Improves joint function and reduces elbow pain.
- Patellar Tendinitis: Alleviates pain associated with jumper's knee.
- Hip Pain: Treats greater trochanteric pain syndrome.
Additionally, shockwave therapy has shown promising results in treating other musculoskeletal conditions, including myofascial pain syndrome and arthritis.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
Shockwave therapy involves the application of high-energy sound waves to the injured area. These waves are not electrical shocks but focused acoustic energy delivered through a specialized device. The therapy triggers several biological responses:
- Neovascularization: Formation of new blood vessels, improving blood supply and oxygenation to the affected area.
- Cell Proliferation and Repair: Stimulation of cells essential for tissue healing, such as tenocytes, leading to accelerated tissue regeneration.
- Breaking Down Calcifications and Scar Tissue: Helps dissolve calcifications and reduce scar tissue, enhancing mobility and reducing pain.

During a shockwave therapy session, you may experience a series of quick, repetitive taps or pulses against your skin and underlying tissues. Some describe the sensation as similar to a deep tissue massage, targeting specific pain points. The intensity can vary from mild to moderately uncomfortable, but it is generally well-tolerated and focused on providing therapeutic relief.
