What to Expect / The Process
We welcome a wide range of patients, from athletes recovering from sports injuries to individuals dealing with chronic pain or discomfort. Whether you’re active or simply looking for relief from stubborn conditions, we’re here to help.
Is shockwave therapy painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during treatment. The intensity of the shockwaves can be adjusted to your tolerance, and any discomfort is typically short-lived.
How long does each session take?
Each session usually lasts up to 20 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
How many sessions will I need?
While this varies depending on your condition, most patients notice significant improvement after 3–6 sessions, typically spaced a week apart. 80% of patients have significant improvements after 6-8 treatments.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are rare and usually mild, including slight redness, swelling, or soreness in the treated area. These typically resolve within a few days.
Who is a good candidate for shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy is suitable for individuals with chronic musculoskeletal pain or injuries that haven’t responded to other treatments. However, it may not be appropriate for those with certain medical conditions, such as blood clotting disorders or pregnancy.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
No downtime is required. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after their session. Your chiropractor will advise you if you need to temporarily stop or modify your activity levels.
How does shockwave therapy work with chiropractic care?
Shockwave therapy complements chiropractic care by addressing soft tissue issues, while chiropractic adjustments (joint manipulation) focus on restoring joint mobility. Together, they provide a holistic approach to healing. Longer appointments combining shockwave therapy and chiropractic treatment are available, if deemed suitable for your condition by your chiropractor.
