Chiropractic Shockwave Therapy

Hundreds of chiropractors across the country have used shockwave therapy to treat a wide variety of conditions, developing new techniques in the process. Chiropractic innovations have advanced the rehabilitation and healing of their patients well beyond their expectations. Routine indications for rehabilitation treatment such as plantar fasciitis and tendinopathies were more successful when resolved with shockwave therapy.

Chiropractic shockwave therapy has taken the healing process to new heights. Chiropractors have now evolved and developed shockwave therapy to treat conditions such as frozen shoulder, piriformis syndrome, adductor strains, and quad hamstring. The most noticeable and beneficial effects were achieved at the trigger points. The immediate relief offered by shockwave therapy was an important step forward in relieving patients’ symptoms.

Also, working in synergy with chiropractors has facilitated the treatment of calcified tendinopathies, stress fractures, and post-operative healing of tendon interfaces with much greater success than traditional methods such as laser, interference, ultrasound, and manual techniques. Traditionally, for many practicing chiropractors, there has been very little evidence of successful treatment for tendinopathies with the available traditional treatments. Shockwave therapy has significantly improved this situation. The repetitive trauma of competing and training makes shockwave therapy a vital tool for healing some injuries.

When Should Chiropractic Shockwave Therapy be Considered?

Shockwave therapy is recommended for anyone who has had three conservative therapies with no improvement with an illness of at least six months. Many people will delay treatment. This is not recommended for conditions such as tendinosis as the constant use of degenerative tendon tissue can cause additional damage. A good example is a person who is in pain every time they lift something with their arm or when their weight is placed on their heel. This occurs when the tendon fibers are pulled.

If the condition progresses to fracture, shockwave therapy is no longer a viable option. The only viable treatment option is invasive surgery. New problems can also be found if the disease is not treated. When a person has foot pain, the natural response is to compensate for this by limping or stepping on their toes to protect their body from discomfort or pain. Unfortunately, over time, these abnormal movements will put a strain on your lower back, knees, and hips. In the worst case, the other foot can develop the same condition. As long as chronic pain is not treated, there is a chance that some compensation problems will arise.

If the pain is fresh, chiropractic shockwave therapy can be avoided by acting quickly. Specialists are available who can solve the problem. Immediate treatment is essential in order to properly treat the body and the problem.

Chiropractic shockwave therapy is an impressive technological advance that has benefited patients around the world, and new techniques and treatments are constantly emerging around the world. Shockwave therapy has become ubiquitous and is valued by patients globally. Using shockwave therapy is only limited by the imagination and ability of the individual.
