Unlike surgery, shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment option that does not require incisions or anesthesia.
Shockwave Therapy stimulates the body's natural healing capabilities.
Shockwave therapy stimulates the healing process, reducing recovery time.
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-frequency sound waves to stimulate the healing process in damaged tissues. It has been used successfully for the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, like:
The sound waves used in shockwave therapy are similar to those used in diagnostic ultrasounds. They are delivered through a handheld device that is placed on the skin over the affected area. The waves penetrate deep into the tissues, promoting blood flow and accelerating the healing process.
Evaluation:
Your chiropractor will evaluate your condition and determine if shockwave therapy is an appropriate treatment for you. This may involve a physical exam, diagnostic imaging, or other tests.
Preparation:
You will be asked to lie down in a comfortable position, and the area to be treated will be cleaned and prepared. In some cases, a local anesthetic may be applied to the area to reduce discomfort.
Treatment:
During the treatment, a handheld device will be used to deliver high-energy shockwaves to the affected area. The device is placed on your skin and moved around the area in a circular motion. You may feel a slight tapping or popping sensation as the shockwaves are delivered.
Duration:
Treatment sessions usually last about 10-15 minutes, depending on the condition being treated and the size of the affected area. Most patients require multiple sessions over a period of several weeks to achieve the best results.
Post-treatment:
After the treatment, you may experience some mild discomfort or soreness in the treated area. Your chiropractor may recommend rest or gentle stretching exercises to help alleviate any discomfort.
Follow-up:
Your chiropractor will monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed. You may be advised to continue with other treatments, such as physical therapy or chiropractic adjustments, to enhance the effects of shockwave therapy.
