Shockwave Therapy in Spruce Grove for Pain Relief and Healing
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates your body’s natural healing process. It is designed for stubborn, long-lasting pain that hasn’t improved with other treatments. At Spruce Grove Chiropractic Centre, we use Radial Shockwave Therapy, a safe and effective option that supports faster tissue repair, reduces pain, and helps you move with more ease.
What Is Radial Shockwave Therapy?
Radial shockwave therapy uses high-energy pressure waves delivered through a handheld device that targets the injured area. These waves increase blood flow, break down tight or fibrotic tissue, and encourage your body to repair itself naturally.
Patients often choose shockwave therapy because it can:
-
Reduce pain
-
Speed up soft-tissue healing
-
Improve mobility and function
-
Break up stubborn scar tissue
-
Help long-standing injuries recover
It’s a non-invasive, drug-free treatment with minimal to no downtime.
What to Expect During Treatment?
Your chiropractor will apply a handheld shockwave device to the affected area. You may feel a tapping or pulsing sensation as the waves move through the tissues. Some mild discomfort is possible, but we can easily adjust the pressure and frequency to keep you comfortable.
After treatment, some people feel temporary aching or soreness around the treatment area. This is normal and usually fades within a day or two. Ice and increased water intake can help soothe any discomfort.
Most conditions respond noticeably within 3 sessions, though 4 - 5 treatments may be recommended for full results.
Conditions Shockwave Therapy Can Treat
Shockwave therapy can help relieve many chronic and acute conditions, including:
-
Plantar fasciitis
-
Carpal tunnel syndrome
-
Trigger finger
-
Tendonitis
-
Fascial restrictions
-
Sprains and strains
-
Back and shoulder pain
-
Fibrous scar tissue build-up
If your pain has lingered for weeks or months, shockwave therapy may be the missing link in your recovery.
