Shockwave Therapy

What is Shockwave Therapy?

Radial Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive, evidence-based treatment that has been used around the world for more than two decades to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support the body's natural healing process. Backed by a growing body of clinical research, shockwave therapy has become a trusted treatment option for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions.

Shockwave therapy works by delivering acoustic pressure waves into injured or dysfunctional tissues. These waves stimulate circulation, promote cellular activity, and encourage tissue regeneration, helping to restart healing in areas where recovery has stalled. This makes it particularly effective for chronic injuries and persistent pain conditions that have not responded well to rest, medication, injections, or other conservative treatments.

Many patients choose shockwave therapy because it offers a safe, drug-free, and non-surgical approach to recovery. Treatment sessions are quick, require little to no downtime, and can be integrated into a comprehensive care plan to help patients return to the activities they enjoy.

Shockwave therapy may be beneficial for conditions including:

  • Plantar fasciitis and heel pain

  • Achilles tendinopathy and ankle injuries

  • Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow

  • Rotator cuff injuries and shoulder pain

  • Patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee)

  • Hip pain and gluteal tendinopathy

  • Shin splints

  • Chronic muscle strains and ligament injuries

  • Scar tissue and soft tissue adhesions

  • Calcific tendinopathy

  • Chronic neck, back, and joint pain related to soft tissue dysfunction

 

Shockwave therapy can be especially helpful for individuals who have been dealing with pain for months or even years and are looking for an alternative to more invasive procedures. It can also be safely used over healed surgical sites, including areas containing orthopedic hardware.

At Balance Point Chiropractic & Wellness, we use shockwave therapy as part of a comprehensive approach to healing and recovery. If you're wondering whether shockwave therapy may be right for your condition, we'd be happy to discuss your options and answer any questions you may have.
