Shockwave Therapy at South Shore Chiropractic
At South Shore Chiropractic, we offer advanced shockwave therapy through Shockwave Centers of America, using the state-of-the-art Mark III Ultra model. This cutting-edge technology provides non-invasive, drug-free pain relief and tissue healing by delivering high-energy acoustic waves to targeted areas of the body.
How Shockwave Therapy Works
Shockwave therapy uses sound waves to penetrate deep into soft tissue, muscles, tendons, and joints. These waves stimulate blood flow, reduce inflammation, break down scar tissue, and accelerate the body’s natural healing process. It is an effective solution for both chronic and acute musculoskeletal conditions, helping patients recover faster and improve mobility.
Conditions Shockwave Therapy Can Treat
Shockwave therapy is widely used for treating a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
-
Chronic Tendon Pain – Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, patellar tendinitis (jumper’s knee), and tennis/golfer’s elbow.
-
Shoulder Pain – Rotator cuff injuries, calcific tendinitis, and frozen shoulder.
-
Knee & Hip Conditions – IT band syndrome, hip bursitis, and chronic knee pain.
-
Back & Spine Pain – Chronic low back pain, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, and myofascial trigger points.
-
Sports & Overuse Injuries – Shin splints, stress fractures, and muscle strains.
-
Soft Tissue & Joint Conditions – Scar tissue adhesions, arthritis-related pain, and general joint stiffness.
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy
-
Reduces Pain & Inflammation – Stimulates anti-inflammatory responses and desensitizes nerve endings.
-
Accelerates Healing – Promotes cell regeneration and tissue repair for faster recovery.
-
Breaks Down Scar Tissue & Calcifications – Improves soft tissue flexibility and mobility.
-
Increases Blood Flow – Enhances oxygen and nutrient delivery to the affected area.
-
Non-Invasive & No Downtime – A quick, effective alternative to surgery or injections.
What to Expect During Treatment
Each session lasts about 10–15 minutes and involves applying a handheld device to the affected area. Patients typically experience mild discomfort during the treatment, but this is temporary. Many patients feel improvement after just a few sessions, with long-term benefits continuing as the body heals naturally.
