If you’ve been living with chronic pain, stiffness, or a nagging injury that just won’t go away, Shockwave Therapy might be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for. Now offered at Dorsa Chiropractic, this innovative treatment helps your body heal naturally without injections, medications, or surgery.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy uses acoustic waves that carry high energy into your muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues. These sound waves jumpstart your body’s natural healing process by increasing blood flow, stimulating stem cell activity, and promoting collagen and elastin formation, which are all essential for tissue repair and regeneration.
In simple terms: it helps your body heal itself, faster.
What Conditions Can It Help?
Shockwave Therapy is highly effective for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, especially those related to chronic pain or overuse. Common issues treated include:
- Plantar Fasciitis (heel pain)
- Tennis Elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
- Shoulder and rotator cuff injuries
- Achilles tendinitis
- Myofascial pain and trigger points
- Chronic muscle tension or calcifications
It’s also used to support bone healing and to break down calcified tissue that may be limiting mobility or causing inflammation.
What to Expect During Treatment
Each session lasts about 5–10 minutes per area. Your chiropractor will apply a small amount of gel to the skin and move the treatment hand-piece slowly over the target area. Most patients describe the sensation as a series of gentle taps or pulses. It’s not painful, but you’ll definitely feel it working.
After treatment, it’s normal to experience mild soreness or warmth in the area for a short time as your body begins the healing response.
To maximize results, patients are advised to avoid NSAIDs or steroid use for 48 hours post-treatment since they can interfere with tissue regeneration.
When You’ll Notice Results
Most patients start noticing improvement after just a few sessions, but the healing effects continue to build over time. A typical treatment plan includes 4–8 weekly sessions, depending on the condition and its severity. Many patients report reduced pain, improved mobility, and faster recovery compared to traditional therapies alone.
