Shockwave Therapy Norcross

shockwave therapy on patients neck Shockwave therapy is an advanced, non-surgical treatment that uses focused acoustic waves to help reduce pain and support healing in stubborn musculoskeletal conditions. At Hans Chiropractic & Injury Center, we use this innovative technology to stimulate your body’s natural repair process, making it an effective option for patients dealing with chronic pain, overuse injuries, or conditions that haven’t responded well to other treatments.

How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?

This therapy delivers high-energy acoustic waves directly to injured or painful areas. These sound waves help increase circulation, stimulate cellular activity, and support tissue regeneration. By encouraging the body’s natural healing response, shockwave therapy can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore function without injections or surgery.

Conditions We Treat

Shockwave therapy may be recommended for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
Achilles tendon pain
Shoulder pain and rotator cuff issues
Hip pain and bursitis
Knee pain related to overuse or degeneration
Chronic soft tissue injuries
Certain cases of chronic low back pain

What to Expect During Treatment

Shockwave therapy sessions are quick and performed right in our office. During treatment, a handheld device delivers acoustic waves to the targeted area. Most patients tolerate the procedure well, and treatment plans are customized based on your diagnosis and goals. This therapy is often combined with chiropractic care, rehabilitation exercises, or other modalities to support optimal results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Shockwave Therapy Effective?

Yes. Research shows this treatment is effective in relieving pain and improving function across various tendinopathies, including plantar fasciitis, elbow tendinopathy, Achilles tendinopathy, and rotator cuff issues.

How many treatments are needed?

Treatment series typically range between 8 and 12 sessions, depending on your condition. Many patients notice some benefit after just 1 or 2 treatments.

What is the success rate?

Success rates range from 60% to 80% for conditions like epicondylitis, plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff tendinitis, hip bursitis, Achilles tendinitis, and jumper’s knee.

Does it work on knees?

Yes. Shockwave therapy effectively treats degenerative knee osteoarthritis. In 95% of cases, it decreases pain and improves knee function, making it a useful nonsurgical intervention for patients with knee arthritis.

Does shockwave therapy break up scar tissue?

Yes. The acoustic waves increase blood circulation and break down fibrous scar tissue that builds up over time, especially with chronic conditions. Breaking down scar tissue is a key reason this treatment is so effective.

Is it effective for low back pain?

Yes. This therapy is an effective intervention for treating pain, disability, and depression in patients with chronic low back pain.

Is it effective for herniated discs?

Shockwave therapy helps break down scar tissue, improving muscle and joint mobility. Improved biomechanics can restore lost nutrients to the disc, helping rehydrate the nucleus that caused the bulge.

Does it help with osteoarthritis?

Yes. This treatment effectively addresses deforming knee osteoarthritis. In 95% of cases, it decreases pain and improves joint function./toggle] Does it help with nerve pain?

Yes. This non-invasive treatment relieves pain from peripheral nerve damage and promotes local arterial remodeling and cellular regeneration.

How does it work on tendons?

The treatment induces controlled microtrauma in the affected tissue, triggering the body’s healing response. This causes blood vessel formation and increased nutrient delivery to the area.

Does it help with hip pain?

Yes. Research shows shockwave therapy is very effective in the mid to long term (4-15 months) for reducing pain and increasing function in patients with greater trochanteric pain syndrome (hip pain).
