Shockwave Therapy
Non-Invasive Therapy for Pain & Soft Tissue Recovery
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted acoustic waves to stimulate a biological response within muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues.
At New Leaf Chiropractic Wellness Center, shockwave therapy may be incorporated into a personalized treatment plan for patients dealing with chronic pain, stubborn injuries, and musculoskeletal conditions that have been slow to improve.
Treatment is targeted directly to the affected area and does not require injections, incisions, or surgery.
What Conditions May Shockwave Therapy Help?
Shockwave therapy is commonly considered for chronic musculoskeletal and soft tissue conditions, including:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tendinopathies and tendon pain
- Shoulder pain
- Knee pain
- Tennis elbow
- Golfer's elbow
- Achilles tendon concerns
- Muscle and soft tissue injuries
- Certain overuse injuries
- Chronic musculoskeletal pain
Non-Invasive Treatment
Shockwave therapy does not require surgery, injections, or incisions, making it a conservative option for appropriate musculoskeletal conditions.
Targeted Treatment
Acoustic waves can be directed toward a specific area of injured or irritated tissue based on your symptoms and evaluation.
Supports the Healing Response
The mechanical stimulation produced by shockwave therapy is intended to encourage biological processes involved in tissue recovery and repair.
Useful for Chronic Conditions
Shockwave therapy is frequently considered for tendon and soft tissue problems that have become persistent or have not responded adequately to other conservative approaches.
Complements Other Treatments
When appropriate, shockwave therapy can be incorporated alongside chiropractic care, therapeutic exercise, and active rehabilitation.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
During treatment, a handheld applicator is positioned over the area being addressed. Controlled acoustic waves are then delivered into the targeted tissue.
This mechanical stimulation is intended to promote biological processes associated with tissue repair and may help improve local circulation and support recovery.
The intensity and treatment area can be adjusted based on your condition, comfort level, and individual treatment plan.
