Radial shockwave therapy is a safe, non-invasive medical treatment that promotes soft tissue healing, improves circulation, and reduces pain and inflammation. Our chiropractor may recommend radial shockwave therapy if you have been diagnosed with chronic shoulder or knee pain, plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, shin splints, or a rotator cuff tear. If you’re considering radial shockwave therapy, discover how our Glendale chiropractor can help you take advantage of the benefits of this treatment.

Proven Success Rate

Radial shockwave therapy has a proven success rate that is often greater than (or at least equal to) that of other chiropractic joint pain treatments. While some patients might find relief after just one session, most see significant reduction in pain, inflammation, stiffness, and tenderness over the course of four to six weekly treatments. 

Safe and Non-Invasive

Radial shockwave therapy carries a much lower risk of complications than surgery, and it doesn’t require a lengthy recovery period. You won’t need to undergo anesthesia or risk infection, scarring, or dependance on prescription painkillers.

Can Be Combined with Other Chiropractic Therapies 

Our chiropractors may recommend that you combine radial shockwave therapy with other chiropractic joint pain treatments to increase your chances of a successful recovery. There are no risks associated with undergoing more than one chiropractic therapy at a time.

Very Low Risk of Side Effects or Downtime

You can immediately return to your normal daily activities after each session. Most patients don’t experience any pain or discomfort during or after a radial shockwave therapy session. Each session lasts around 10 to 15 minutes and can be repeated weekly.
