How Shockwave Therapy Works
Shockwave therapy uses targeted acoustic waves to stimulate the area where your body needs extra support. These waves promote blood flow and cellular activity while addressing scar tissue and tension that may limit movement. It’s especially helpful for deeper tissues that can be difficult to reach with stretching or manual care alone.
Because the waves reach deeper tissue layers, shockwave therapy is often considered when the body feels stuck, including cases involving restrictions such as adhesions, calcifications, or long-standing soft-tissue irritation that may contribute to ongoing discomfort.
When Shockwave Therapy May Help
Many patients choose shockwave therapy for ongoing concerns that have not fully resolved with rest alone. It’s commonly used to address the following.
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tennis elbow
- Achilles discomfort
- Shoulder irritation
- Shin splints
- Knee pain
- Lingering back or neck tension
Patients often report improved mobility, reduced inflammation, and easier movement during daily activities. Care plans are always personalized, but many people benefit from a short series of visits based on their goals and activity level. In many cases, this falls within the 3- to 6-session range.
What to Expect During Your Session
Shockwave therapy sessions are quick and typically last between 10 and 20 minutes. Most patients tolerate the sensation well, and any temporary redness afterward usually resolves quickly. We take time to explain what is happening, check in on your comfort, and adjust as needed so you feel relaxed and supported throughout your visit.
Part of a Bigger Wellness Picture
Shockwave therapy is most effective when it’s part of a thoughtful, whole-body approach. Dr. Audra Hewett often combines this service with chiropractic adjustments and other complementary therapies to help patients feel better now while also supporting long-term resilience and mobility.
