How is the therapy done?
Your Chiropractor will discuss your symptoms with you and locate the source of pain. They will then mark the area intended for the Shockwave Therapy. A gel is applied to optimize the contact between the application device and your skin. The hand piece delivers pulsations to the pain area for a few prescribed pulses, depending on the condition. Each treatment session lasts between 5-10 minutes.
Benefits:
Shockwave therapy is used to reduce pain and tissue tension, break down scar tissue, promote collagen production, increase growth factor, promote calcified fiber, improve blood circulation, and stimulate cytokines.
How many sessions do I need?
Shockwave therapy is often performed every 3-7 days for at least 6 treatments depending on chronicity of the problem.

- Bear weight (i.e., walk) immediately.
