Chronic pain shouldn’t keep you down, especially when cutting-edge technology is available to give you more than temporary relief. Harbor Chiropractic is proud to offer shockwave therapy – a non-invasive treatment designed to target sources of discomfort and support your body’s natural healing process. If you have pain, the advanced chiropractic care we offer can help you feel better and get back to doing what you love without surgery, injections or downtime.
Shockwave therapy uses targeted acoustic waves to activate your body’s biological healing processes. Controlled energy pulses are delivered directly to injured areas, encouraging tissue repair, blood flow and pain reduction. It’s an impressive, drug-free approach that works with your body to promote long-term healing – and can be a beneficial part of your chiropractic care with us.
Harbor Chiropractic uses a handheld device when treating our patients with shockwave therapy. For your body, one of the main benefits is neovascularization – the creation of healthy blood vessels in injured or painful tissues by targeting damaged areas with acoustic waves. These waves raise your circulation and draw in blood, nutrients and cells to tissues, helping with the healing process. The result is a decrease in inflammation, quicker tissue repair and lasting relief.
Shockwave therapy is an incredible, advanced treatment that takes the healing process a step further – beyond chiropractic adjustments. It’s been highly effective with our patients, targeting an array of common conditions, including:
Beyond being effective in encouraging the body’s healing process, there are a number of benefits to including shockwave therapy in chiropractic care to treat a variety of injuries. Our office and patients love this technology for the following reasons:
Shockwave therapy is designed to be quick and comfortable compared to other treatments. No anesthesia, drugs or injections are needed – and you’ll remain fully clothed throughout the session. Many conditions typically respond to 6-12 shockwave therapy sessions, each roughly one week apart. When you schedule your appointment, our team will create a plan for shockwave therapy and evaluate you for chiropractic care in order to address your pain, and fit your lifestyle and goals.
