Shockwave Therapy

It might sound intense, but the reality is that shockwave therapy is a safe, reliable treatment method for those with chronic pain and discomfort. The process is based on controlled mechanical stimulation. When acoustic waves are applied to the affected area, they:

• Increase localized circulation

• Break up Scar Tissue

• Stimulate metabolic activity in damaged tissues

• Activate the body's natural repair mechanisms

• Promote collagen production

• Help reduce chronic inflammatory patterns

This controlled stimulation encourages the body to heal itself more efficiently.

Sessions are typically brief, are preformed with Laser Therapy, require minimal downtime, and are performed in-office.

Shockwave therapy is frequently used for:

• Chronic tendon pain (tendinitis and tendinopathy)

• Plantar fasciitis treatment

• Shoulder pain

• Tennis elbow or golfer's elbow

• Achilles tendon pain

• Sports-related soft tissue injuries

• Chronic muscle tightness or trigger points

Many patients seek shockwave therapy when they want to avoid surgical intervention or prolonged medication use.

When performed by trained professionals, shockwave therapy is safe and generally well-tolerated. The treatment is non-invasive and does not involve incisions or injections.

Some patients may experience mild soreness or redness following treatment, similar to post-exercise discomfort. These effects are typically temporary and part of the body's natural healing response.

Before beginning care, we conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if shockwave therapy is appropriate for you.

At Johnson Chiropractic, we view shockwave therapy as part of a broader recovery strategy.

While extracorporeal shockwave therapy helps stimulate tissue repair, combining it with:

• Laser Therapy 
• Chiropractic adjustments
• Corrective exercises
• Therapeutic massage

can significantly improve recovery outcomes.

This approach addresses both the structural and soft tissue components of pain, helping restore movement.
