Shockwave therapy
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive, highly effective treatment for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions—particularly those affecting areas where tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues attach to bone. This therapy is now available at New Roads Chiropractic Center as part of our advanced, non-surgical pain relief options.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy uses focused sound waves (not electrical shocks) to deliver energy deep into affected tissues. These acoustic waves stimulate the body’s natural healing processes by:
- ✔️ Increasing blood flow
- ✔️ Breaking down scar tissue and calcifications
- ✔️ Reducing inflammation
- ✔️ Stimulating collagen production and tissue regeneration
Common Conditions Treated
- Chronic tendonitis (e.g., shoulder, elbow, knee)
- Plantar fasciitis and heel spurs
- Calcific shoulder tendinopathy
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Hip bursitis or gluteal pain
- Shin splints
- Trigger points or muscle tension knots
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy
- Fast-acting pain relief without surgery or injections
- Breaks up adhesions that restrict movement and healing
- Improves mobility and range of motion
- Minimal downtime—return to your normal routine quickly
What to Expect During Treatment
A handheld device is applied to the treatment area, delivering a series of pressure pulses. Most patients feel only mild discomfort and describe the sensation as similar to deep tissue massage or tapping. Sessions typically last 10 to 15 minutes and are followed by gradual, progressive healing over the next few days or weeks.
