At The Chiropractors, we’re passionate about helping our patients not only recover from pain but also move, feel and live at their absolute best. That’s why we offer a range of safe, evidence-informed therapies designed to support the body’s natural healing processes — and one of the most exciting among them is Shockwave Therapy.
If you’ve been battling a stubborn injury, lingering tendon pain, or soft tissue discomfort that just won’t go away, Shockwave Therapy could be the breakthrough you’ve been searching for.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted sound waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. These waves travel deep into the body, reaching areas that are often difficult to treat with other methods.
The shockwaves work by increasing blood circulation, disrupting chronic inflammation, breaking down scar tissue, and encouraging the production of collagen — a key protein involved in tissue repair. Many patients begin to feel an improvement within just a few sessions, and the effects continue to build as the body responds over time.
Unlike surgery or steroid injections, Shockwave Therapy doesn’t require any downtime. You can walk in, have your treatment, and carry on with your day.
What Conditions Can It Help With?
Shockwave Therapy is particularly effective for chronic or hard-to-treat musculoskeletal conditions — especially those involving tendons, ligaments, and fascia. At our clinics, we use Shockwave Therapy to help with:
- Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
- Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)
- Shoulder pain and frozen shoulder
- Hip tendinopathy and gluteal pain
- Shin splints
- Chronic muscle tightness and scar tissue
It’s ideal for people who’ve tried rest, stretching, foam rolling, or even injections — but haven’t experienced lasting relief.
If you’ve been told to “just live with it,” Shockwave Therapy may offer you a new path forward.
How It Feels and What to Expect
Shockwave sessions are quick, usually lasting around 10–20 minutes, and many people describe the sensation as mildly uncomfortable but manageable. You may feel a pulsing or tapping sensation as the device is moved over the affected area. Most patients tolerate it well and find that the short-term discomfort is well worth the results.
There may be some soreness or redness afterwards — a sign that your body is beginning to repair the targeted tissues. This usually settles within a day or two.
Why We Combine Shockwave Therapy with Chiropractic Adjustments
At The Chiropractors, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Our focus is always on addressing the root cause of your issue and supporting your whole-body healing.
That’s why we often use Shockwave Therapy alongside chiropractic adjustments — especially for patients with restricted spinal or joint movement, compensatory muscle tightness, or recurring biomechanical problems.
Here’s how they work together:
- Chiropractic adjustments improve spinal and joint alignment, enhance nervous system function, and restore healthy movement.
- Shockwave Therapy reduces inflammation, breaks down adhesions, and boosts soft tissue healing.
By combining the two, we help your body not only move better but also heal faster and stay well for longer. It’s a truly holistic, natural approach — and one our patients love for its long-lasting results.
