What is shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy – also known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and acoustic wave therapy (AWT) among other names – uses acoustic waves to transmit high peak pressure waves to promote and accelerate healing for subacute and chronic conditions.
An effective, drug-free, non-invasive treatment
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic shockwaves to deeply stimulate tissue, tendons, and bones. Also known as Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT), this treatment is specifically designed for those suffering from chronic and acute musculoskeletal ailments. Shockwave therapy helps to repair, rejuvenate, and restore muscle tissues in a safe and straightforward manner and is a great option for individuals who have not seen results from other forms of therapy.

Traditional Pain Relief Treatment
There are a variety of options for treating pain. Medications and pharmaceutical options are often a first stop for those searching for relief, but drugs may simply mask symptoms - not solve the root cause of the pain. There are also risks associated with drugs, such as dependency or negative side-effects. Surgery is another option but is frequently too expensive or too risky for many patients.
Shockwave Therapy Can Help
Shockwave therapy is completely drug free and is 100% non-invasive, combating your pain at its source. By delivering focused extracorporeal shockwaves to muscles and tissues of the joints, we can help stimulate your body's healing processes and root out the true cause of your pain. These treatments are suitable for treating acute and chronic pain all across your body and can penetrate deep into tissue while leaving you with little-to-no downtime.
Shockwave Therapy Can Target Many Pain Points:
- Neck
- Shoulder
- Elbow
- Back and hip
- Wrist
- Knee
- Ankle
- Other muscle sprains and strains
Understanding Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is rather straightforward. These treatments deliver a controlled series of focused compressions to strained or sprained tissue, breaking up soft tissue calcifications and stimulating your body's ability to relieve pain and accelerate healing. These compressions are delivered to the surface of your skin, but the resulting shockwaves can penetrate deep into your muscles and bones.

Shockwave Therapy FAQ
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy
Improved local circulation
By stimulating deep tissues, patients can expect more blood flow to the affected area. This, in turn, can accelerate healing processes and significantly relief pain. Improved circulation can help deliver oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to your tissues, further assisting with recovery.
Speedy pain relief
We know how frustrating it can be to suffer from pain and wait through weeks of therapy to feel even minor improvements. Pain relief from shockwave therapy can be felt in as little as one treatment, and the relief can be nearly instantaneous.
Accelerated healing times
Shockwave therapy can stimulate your body's natural healing processes, leading to shorter recovery and less pain.
No medications or anesthesia
This therapy is entirely drug-free and requires absolutely no anesthesia, making it a perfect alternative to a surgical or otherwise invasive approach.
Shorter recovery time
Due to its non-invasive nature, patients can resume their daily activities with little-to-no downtime. This makes it perfect for athletes, or those looking to return to a pain-free and active lifestyle.
More than 80% successful outcomes
The overwhelming majority of shockwave therapy patients see success in their treatment, resulting in less pain and a faster recovery. When other treatments have failed, shockwave therapy provides a highly successful option for those in need of relief.

Our Care Philosophy
Pain is something that everyone deals with at one time or another whether it is a relatively harmless accident such as stubbing one’s toe or it is a more serious accident. Acute pain is pain that lasts for a short period of time — such as that experienced when you stub your toe. Chronic pain, on the other hand, is experienced at a great length of time for weeks, months, and even years. Though the root of chronic pain can be the result of a variety of medical conditions, chiropractic care can help to alleviate pain and even sometimes eradicate it.
