Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. This cutting-edge, FDA-cleared treatment accelerates recovery for chronic pain conditions that have not responded to conventional therapies. At Premier Chiropractic, we use advanced focused shockwave technology to deliver targeted treatment with precision and comfort.
Shockwave therapy is highly effective for plantar fasciitis and heel pain, tennis elbow and golfer's elbow, rotator cuff injuries and chronic shoulder pain, Achilles tendinitis, patellar tendinitis and knee pain, hip bursitis, calcific tendinitis, myofascial trigger points, and chronic muscle tension related to back pain and neck pain.
Acoustic pressure waves penetrate deep into damaged tissue, increasing blood flow, stimulating collagen production, breaking down calcified deposits, and triggering the body's natural repair mechanisms. This process creates new blood vessel formation (neovascularization) and accelerates tissue regeneration at the cellular level. Unlike cortisone injections which only mask pain temporarily, shockwave therapy promotes actual structural healing.
Sessions are quick, typically lasting 15–20 minutes. Most patients experience improvement within 3–5 sessions, with optimal results after 6–8 treatments. Shockwave therapy is non-invasive with no downtime — you can return to normal activities immediately. We often combine ESWT with chiropractic adjustments, MLS laser therapy, and rehabilitation exercises for comprehensive results.
