Shockwave Therapy at Inspire Chiropractic & Wellness Studio
Is chronic or acute pain sidelining you from the activities in life you love? Are you searching for an effective and non-invasive alternative to surgery? If so, shockwave therapy may be the answer. If you have old areas of irritation or injury, areas that experience repetitive injury, or joints where you experience chronic pain, we can help at Inspire Chiropractic & Wellness Studio.
What Is It?
Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical treatment method using high energy sound waves to treat muscle and tendon issues. These waves are introduced deep into the body for short periods, triggering break down of scar tissue, promoting blood vessel growth, decreasing pain and stimulating the cells responsible for healing.
What Are Some Benefits?
The results of this treatment are decreased inflammation and increased metabolic activity. That stimulates an accelerated healing of tendons, ligaments, muscles and bones, which in turn, results in lasting pain relief without side effects.

What to Expect
Please wear comfortable clothing, which allows you to move with ease during your session.
We will do an evaluation to make a diagnosis, as well as look at the compensation areas. Next, you will be given some progressive therapy, using percussive therapy to increase circulation in the area to be treated.
When we apply the shockwave treatment, we start with the sound waves and use a conductive gel, to make the treatment more effective. The treatment itself takes about 5-10 minutes per area, depending on the area.
So we can do a proper pre and post-treatment protocol, we take 15 to 30 minutes per patient. Your first visit may take around 30 minutes. “An important part of shockwave therapy is also making sure patients leave with the information they need to support the treatment, as the body is almost regenerating all the cells, rebuilding and expediting that healing process even more,” said Dr. Lisa.
