If you suffer from chronic pain due to soft tissue injuries or musculoskeletal issues, you know how these conditions can impact your daily life. Chronic pain and stiffness in areas like the neck, back, shoulders, or knees can make even basic movements challenging. Chiropractic shockwave therapy is a non-invasive, cutting-edge treatment option that can promote healing and help relieve pain in many common injuries.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
For individuals dealing with ongoing pain and inflammation in their muscles, tendons, or ligaments, finding relief can be life-changing. Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic sound waves to promote blood flow, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the body's natural healing process. At Charleston Chiropractic Associates, we use shockwave therapy to help patients regain comfort, mobility, and balance by targeting the affected tissues directly.
Targeting Soft Tissue Pain
Injuries to the soft tissue, such as tendonitis or muscle strains, often result in pain and inflammation that limit movement and comfort. When untreated, these injuries can cause further issues as other parts of the body compensate for the weakened areas. Shockwave therapy targets the pain directly, using high-energy sound waves to break down scar tissue, improve circulation, and increase collagen production. This not only helps to alleviate pain but also promotes long-term recovery.
Whole Person Care
In chiropractic care, addressing the whole person means looking beyond the injury itself to understand any underlying issues that could be contributing to pain. Chiropractic shockwave therapy offers a complementary approach to chiropractic adjustments, as it targets the soft tissue structures that support the spine and joints. This comprehensive assessment of your condition allows for a more effective, personalized treatment plan aimed at overall wellness.
What To Expect During Shockwave Therapy
During a shockwave therapy session, a small handheld device is used to deliver acoustic waves directly to the injured area. Most patients report feeling a mild pulsing sensation. The sound waves penetrate deeply to stimulate the body's healing response, breaking up scar tissue and encouraging blood flow. Over a series of sessions, this approach can reduce pain and inflammation, helping to restore comfort and mobility.
