Renaud Chiropractic Clinic offers innovative treatments designed to help you live pain-free. If you are dealing with chronic muscle or joint pain, our Shockwave Therapy provides a safe, non-invasive solution to promote healing and alleviate pain without the need for surgery or medications.

What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy is a modern, non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. By applying targeted high-energy waves to the area of pain, the therapy promotes blood circulation, accelerates the healing process, and reduces pain. This advanced treatment is effective for musculoskeletal conditions and injuries that have not responded to other treatments. Shockwave Therapy works by stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms. The sound waves created by the treatment increase blood flow to the area, break down calcified tissue, and encourage the growth of new, healthy cells. This leads to a faster recovery and significant pain reduction.

Conditions Treated

Shockwave Therapy is particularly effective in treating conditions such as:

  • Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
  • Tendonitis (inflammation of tendons)
  • Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
  • Shoulder pain (rotator cuff injuries)
  • Achilles tendon injuries
  • Patellar tendonitis (Jumper's knee)
  • Muscle and joint pain
  • Calcified tendons

Whether you're struggling with a sports-related injury or chronic pain from overuse, Shockwave Therapy offers a promising solution for accelerating healing and providing long-term pain relief.

How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?

At Renaud Chiropractic Clinic, we use state-of-the-art Shockwave Therapy machines to deliver focused acoustic waves to the affected areas. The treatment is typically performed while you lie comfortably, fully clothed. Our chiropractor will adjust the machine’s settings based on your specific condition and pain levels.

The process works as follows:

The Shockwave machine generates pressure waves that are applied to the treatment area.

These pressure waves stimulate circulation, break down scar tissue, and promote the healing of injured tissues.

As the healing process is activated, pain is reduced, and mobility is improved.

During the session, you may experience a mild sensation of discomfort, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated. Most patients report feeling an improvement in their condition shortly after treatment.

What to Expect During Your Shockwave Therapy Session

Each Shockwave Therapy session at Renaud Chiropractic Clinic typically lasts between 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the severity of the condition. Here's what you can expect:

1. Initial Consultation

Before starting Shockwave Therapy, we will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to assess your condition and determine if this treatment is right for you. This may include a physical exam and a discussion about your symptoms and medical history. In some cases, imaging studies (such as X-rays or an MRI) may be recommended.

2. Personalized Treatment Plan

Based on your evaluation, our chiropractor will design a customized Shockwave Therapy plan tailored to your specific needs. The treatment plan may include multiple sessions over the course of several weeks to achieve the best results.

3. Comfortable Treatment Sessions

During each session, you’ll be positioned comfortably, and the Shockwave device will be applied to the affected area. Most patients find the treatment to be tolerable, and the chiropractor will adjust the intensity to suit your comfort level. You may feel a slight discomfort or a tapping sensation, but this typically subsides after a few minutes.

4. Post-Treatment Care

After the session, we will provide you with any necessary post-treatment instructions to ensure the best results. This may include specific stretches, exercises, or recommendations for managing any soreness that may occur. Many patients experience immediate pain relief, with continued improvement over the next several days.
