Shockwave Therapy in Oakdale

Shockwave IllustrationIf you’ve been sidelined by chronic pain or soft tissue type issues, we have some very good news—relief may be closer than you think. Shockwave therapy, now available at Parkview Chiropractic Clinic, offers a modern, drug-free way to support recovery by activating the body’s own healing response.

How Does It Work?

Despite its name, shockwave therapy does not involve electrical shocks. Instead, sound waves are directed at problem areas to help the body repair itself. This mechanical energy stimulates circulation, breaks down scar tissue, and may promote nerve regeneration, especially in cases such as peripheral neuropathy.

Another benefit? It’s completely drug-free and designed to work with your body’s healing rhythms, not against them.

Conditions That Can Be Addressed

In our office, we’ve seen excellent results with conditions like:

  • Achilles tendonitis
  • Back pain
  • Golfer’s elbow
  • Heel spurs
  • Knee pain
  • Overuse injuries
  • Peripheral neuropathy
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Rotator cuff issues
  • Shin splints
  • Strained muscles
  • Tennis elbow

Shockwave therapy is also showing promise in helping with damaged nerves by stimulating regrowth of the nerve fibers. It’s a great option for individuals seeking faster relief without relying on medications or invasive procedures.

Fast, Comfortable Sessions

Most appointments take just 10-15 minutes. Some people feel better after just one visit, though we typically recommend a series of treatments for deeper healing. Mild soreness or swelling may follow, but downtime is minimal.

A Powerful Add-On

While chiropractic care addresses root causes, shockwave therapy works on the surface—speeding up healing and alleviating chronic pain that hasn’t responded fully to other treatments. Using both together allows us to target structural alignment and tissue repair for more lasting results.

FAQ

Does it hurt to get this therapy?

While some discomfort may be felt during a session, shockwave therapy isn’t considered painful. Many describe it as small pulses against the skin.

Is there anyone who shouldn’t have shockwave therapy?

Yes, it’s not recommended for women who are pregnant, those taking blood thinners, or individuals who have certain medical implants. It also shouldn’t be used near the brain or over active cancer sites.
