Shockwave Therapy
Welcome to Renaud Chiropractic Clinic, where we are committed to delivering effective chiropractic care tailored to your individual needs. If you are struggling with chronic pain, soft tissue injuries, or musculoskeletal conditions, our Shockwave Therapy provides a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that helps accelerate healing, reduce pain, and restore mobility.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a cutting-edge treatment designed to stimulate healing in injured tissues. It uses acoustic sound waves to target areas of pain, inflammation, and tightness, promoting natural healing and regeneration at the cellular level.
This non-invasive therapy improves blood flow, reduces muscle tension, and helps break down scar tissue and calcifications, making it highly effective for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions.
Conditions Treated
Shockwave therapy is commonly used to treat conditions such as:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tendinitis (shoulder, Achilles, elbow, etc.)
- Chronic muscle pain
- Calcific shoulder tendinopathy
- Sports injuries
- Delayed healing of soft tissue injuries
Shockwave therapy works by triggering the body’s natural repair mechanisms. The treatment is safe, drug-free, and effective in reducing pain, restoring mobility, and accelerating recovery, helping patients return to an active lifestyle faster.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
At Renaud Chiropractic Clinic, we use advanced shockwave therapy technology to deliver acoustic sound waves directly to areas of pain or injury. This non-invasive treatment stimulates the body’s natural healing process by increasing blood circulation, reducing inflammation, and accelerating tissue repair.
During the procedure, a handheld device is applied to the affected area, transmitting controlled pulses of energy into the underlying tissues. These shockwaves help break down scar tissue and calcifications, release tight muscles, and stimulate the regeneration of tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues.
As a result, patients experience reduced pain, improved mobility, and faster recovery without the need for medication or surgery.
What to Expect During Your Shockwave Therapy Session
Each shockwave therapy session at Renaud Chiropractic Clinic typically lasts between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on your condition and treatment plan. Here’s what you can expect during your appointment:
1. Initial Consultation
Before beginning treatment, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine if shockwave therapy is right for you. This includes a physical exam, reviewing your medical history, and discussing your symptoms. In some cases, imaging tests may be recommended to better assess your condition.
2. Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your evaluation, our chiropractor will create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan may include multiple shockwave sessions over the course of several weeks, combined with other supportive chiropractic care techniques.
3. Comfortable Treatment Sessions
During each session, a handheld shockwave device will be applied to the affected area. The device delivers targeted sound waves that stimulate healing and reduce pain. Patients may feel a pulsing or tapping sensation, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated and does not require anesthesia.
4. Post-Treatment Care
After your session, we will provide recommendations to enhance your recovery. These may include specific exercises, stretches, or lifestyle adjustments to maximize the benefits of shockwave therapy and support long-term results.
