What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy sends focused acoustic waves into tight, painful soft tissue. The waves boost blood flow to the area and support the body's natural repair process. It is noninvasive, which means there are no incisions, injections or medications involved.
What Is Shockwave Therapy Used For?
People commonly look to shockwave therapy for stubborn muscle and tendon pain, especially when other approaches have stalled. Many use it for:
Shoulder pain
Elbow pain, such as tennis or golfer's elbow
Heel and foot pain
Low back and hip pain
Tight muscles and persistent knots
Dr. Carmell will tell you after your exam whether shockwave therapy is a good fit for your concern.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work With Chiropractic Care?
Shockwave therapy is one of our two core services, along with chiropractic adjustments. Tight, irritated tissue can make adjustments feel harder, and shockwave therapy helps muscles relax so adjustments can feel easier. Together they address both the joints and the soft tissue around them.
What Should You Expect at Your Visit?
Your exam. Dr. Carmell reviews your history and goals and examines the area that hurts.
Your plan. She explains whether shockwave therapy makes sense and how it fits with your adjustments.
Your treatment. Shockwave therapy is applied to the targeted area during your one-on-one visit.
Your next steps. You leave knowing how often to return and what to do at home.
Is Shockwave Therapy Right for You?
Shockwave therapy is not right for everyone. Tell us if you are pregnant, have an implanted device such as a pacemaker, have a condition that affects blood clotting or take blood thinning medication. Dr. Carmell will review your history and tell you honestly what she recommends.
Can Shockwave Therapy Help After an Accident?
If you were injured in a collision, your recovery plan may combine adjustments with supportive therapies, including shockwave therapy, to help calm inflammation and release muscle tension. Learn about our car accident chiropractor care.
