Nagging tendon, heel, joint, or soft-tissue pain can interfere with work, exercise, and ordinary movement. Shockwave therapy delivers acoustic pressure waves to a focused area and may support the body’s natural repair response.

Dr. Shane & Dr. Sierra are some of the best chiropractors I have been too. They take time to listen about my aches and try to get to the root cause of those aches. They care about your full body wellness and nutrition. I love that they are always up to date on the latest methods and technology when considering my health. I would definitely recommend them both!

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that delivers acoustic pressure waves to a focused area. It may be used to support pain reduction and function in certain tendon and soft-tissue conditions.
Most people feel a series of tapping or pulsing sensations over the selected area. Tender spots can feel more sensitive, so the intensity is adjusted based on your comfort and clinical needs.
It may be considered for selected chronic tendon, heel, shoulder, elbow, knee, foot, or other soft-tissue concerns. The diagnosis and location matter, so an evaluation is required.
There is no universal number. The recommended schedule depends on the condition, how long symptoms have been present, your response, and the doctor’s findings.
Many patients can return to ordinary activities, but temporary soreness can occur. The team will explain activity guidance based on the area treated and your individual response.
No. Some health conditions, medications, recent procedures, or treatment areas can make it inappropriate. The doctors screen for relevant risks before recommending treatment.
