Here at Wash Park Chiro, we are thrilled to announce the addition of Shockwave Therapy to our list of wholistic services! This innovative, non-invasive treatment is designed to accelerate healing, reduce pain, and restore mobility for patients dealing with chronic or acute musculoskeletal conditions.


What Is Shockwave Therapy?


Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), utilizes high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. These waves are directed at specific areas of pain or injury, promoting increased blood flow, reducing inflammation, and encouraging tissue regeneration. The treatment is FDA-cleared and has been widely adopted in sports medicine, physical therapy, and chiropractic care for its effectiveness in treating various conditions.


How Does It Work?


During a Shockwave Therapy session at Washington Park Chiropractic, a handheld device is used to deliver controlled acoustic pulses to the targeted area. This process creates microtrauma in the affected tissues, which stimulates the body's repair mechanisms. The result is accelerated healing, pain relief, and improved function. Each session typically lasts between 15 to 20 minutes, and most patients experience significant improvement after a series of treatments.


Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy


Shockwave Therapy is effective in treating a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:​

  • Plantar fasciitis

  • Achilles tendinopathy

  • Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)

  • Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)

  • Rotator cuff tendinopathy

  • Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)

  • Shin splints

  • Chronic back and neck pain

  • Shoulder pain and calcifications

  • Scar tissue and adhesions

By targeting the underlying causes of pain, Shockwave Therapy offers a non-surgical alternative for patients seeking relief from chronic conditions.
