Shockwave Therapy Specialist

What is shockwave therapy?

Shockwave therapy involves applying high-energy sound waves to targeted areas within the body. These sound waves penetrate deep into the tissues, stimulating increased blood flow, cellular regeneration, and collagen production, which support faster healing. In turn, shockwave therapy can reduce inflammation and pain while promoting long-term recovery in the treated area.

As a non-surgical approach, shockwave therapy is well-tolerated by patients and requires no anesthesia or recovery time, making it convenient and effective.

What conditions can shockwave therapy help treat?

Shockwave therapy can be particularly effective for individuals experiencing chronic pain and musculoskeletal injuries. At Hancock Chiropractic, the team uses shockwave therapy to treat conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, tennis elbow, rotator cuff injuries, and calcific shoulder tendinitis. The therapy is also beneficial for chronic back, neck, and knee pain, as well as for patients with limited mobility or stiffness due to muscle adhesions. Shockwave therapy addresses the root cause of the pain, which enables patients to experience lasting relief and improved quality of life.

What can I expect from shockwave therapy?

During a shockwave therapy session at Hancock Chiropractic, patients can expect to lie comfortably while Dr. Hancock applies a gel to the treatment area and uses a handheld device to deliver focused sound waves.

Each session lasts between 15 and 20 minutes, depending on the area being treated. To achieve optimal results, most patients require a series of treatments spaced over several weeks.

While some patients may feel minor discomfort during treatment, it is generally well-tolerated and causes no lasting pain. Many experience reduced pain and improved range of motion after just a few sessions.

Shockwave therapy is an excellent treatment option for individuals seeking relief from pain without surgery or medication.
