Shockwave Therapy for Tendinopathy, Shoulder Pain, and Knee Pain
Shockwave therapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment that utilizes delivery of a shock wave directly to soft tissue injuries in order to reduce pain and promote healing. Shockwave therapy is often used to treat chronic tendinopathy that has not responded to other treatment methods, and chronic pain that is affecting mobility.
At First Choice Chiropractic, our experienced chiropractors are highly trained in using shockwave therapy to treat tendinopathy, knee pain, and shoulder pain in Peoria, Glendale, and Phoenix, AZ. If you’re interested in learning more about how shockwave therapy can reduce your pain and get you back on your feet, give us a call.
How Shockwave Therapy Works
Shockwave therapy is a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment for chronic pain and mobility issues, specifically tendinopathy, shoulder pain, and knee pain. Your chiropractor will manually apply an instrument to your skin that will deliver a safe, pain-free acoustic wave that carries high energy to painful areas of skin, muscle, and tendons. This energy promotes the regeneration of skin and tissue, and begins the reparative processes of the bones, tendons, and other soft tissue.
Acoustic waves generated during shockwave therapy can promote new blood vessel formation, reverse chronic inflammation, stimulate collagen production, release trigger points, improve mobility, and reduce or eliminate chronic pain. You will not feel any pain during the procedure, but you will feel a slight pressure as the instrument is pressed against the area to be treated.
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a brief, non-invasive treatment, so you will not experience discomfort during or after treatment. Our patients typically experience fast pain relief and improvement in mobility after just one or two sessions. Because shockwave therapy is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment method with no need for painkillers, it is ideal for quick recovery from acute or chronic pain.
Shockwave therapy is also beneficial for athletes whose injuries are not responding to other treatments, such as rest, ice, therapeutic exercise, bracing and orthotics, but who do not want to consider more invasive or surgical options.
