Shockwave Therapy

This technology produces soundwaves that is about 1000 times the peak pressure force of traditional ultrasound machines. By varying the intensity of these waves, shockwave machines can be used for a variety of purposes. It can stimulate a new healing process by creating a mild inflammatory process to chronic soft tissue conditions. Its mechanical effects can also reduce tightness in joint tissues and muscles to improve joint and muscle mobility. It is most effective when used as part of a comprehensive program that includes manual therapy, therapeutic exercise and activity management. The following conditions can be treated with shockwave therapy:

1. plantar fasciitis
2. achilles tendinopathy
3. calcific tendinopathy
4. frozen shoulders
5. chronic muscle strains
6. trigger fingers
7. hip and knee tendinopathies
8. chronic ligament sprains
9. golfers and tennis elbows

Katelyn has been working on my shoulder for a few months now and the results have been great. Even when I re-injured my shoulder again she was able to find new solutions to get me back on track. They treat their patients with respect and dignity and always greet you with a smile. Worth the hour drive every time – Keith W.
