Non-Invasive Pain
Relief & Accelerated
Healing
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. These targeted waves may help improve circulation, break down scar tissue, and support tissue repair in damaged or painful areas.
At Stanlick Chiropractic, Shockwave Therapy may be recommended as part of a personalized care plan to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore function without medication or surgery.
How Shockwave Therapy Works
Shockwave Therapy is performed directly on the skin over the treatment area. A thin layer of gel is applied first to help transmit the acoustic waves into the tissue. During treatment, patients often describe the sensation as a deep vibration, pulsing pressure, or mild discomfort.
Treatment intensity begins lower and is adjusted based on your comfort and clinical goals.
Conditions That May Benefit From Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy may be used to support care for:
What to Expect
Most Shockwave Therapy appointments typically last 10–20 minutes. Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing is recommended. Mild redness, tenderness, or soreness may occur after treatment and typically resolves quickly.
The number of treatments recommended will vary based on your condition, goals, and overall care plan. Many patients experience the best results with a series of treatments recommended by their doctor.
