Waves of Wellness; The Science Behind Shockwave Therapy



At Piedmont Chiropractic Center, we’re always looking for innovative, effective, and non-invasive ways to help our patients heal, recover, and thrive. We’re excited to announce the latest addition to our suite of treatments: Shock Wave Therapy (SWT). Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, musculoskeletal issues, or recovery from an injury, shockwave therapy offers a solution designed to target and treat a wide range of conditions.


What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shock Wave Therapy (SWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic shock waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes creating micro-traumas that stimulate biological responses such as:

  • Pain Relief: Blocks pain pathways and increases blood flow for faster relief.

  • Cellular Repair: Promotes cell proliferation and protein biosynthesis.

  • Enhanced Circulation: Encourages vascularization to improve oxygen and nutrient delivery.

  • Calcium Deposit Breakdown: Dissolves calcifications that cause chronic pain.

These effects help address pain at its source and support lasting recovery.

By delivering controlled energy pulses directly to the affected area, SWT enhances cellular regeneration, reduces pain, and improves mobility.


Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy

  • Musculoskeletal Pain: Effective for treating chronic conditions like:

    • Osteoarthritis

    • Plantar fasciitis

    • Rotator cuff injuries

    • Tennis elbow

    • Achilles tendinitis

  • Neurological Disorders: Relieves muscle spasticity and improves mobility in patients with neurological conditions.

  • Post-Injury Recovery: Speeds healing of stress fractures, soft tissue injuries, and ligament strains.


Why Choose Shockwave Therapy?

  • Safe and Effective: SWT is non-invasive, requires no anesthesia, and has minimal downtime. Patients often notice significant improvement after just a few sessions.

  • Whole-Body Benefits: Treat areas from shoulders and elbows to knees, feet, and even your lower back.

  • Natural Healing Activation: Encourages your body to heal itself by boosting metabolism, repairing damaged tissues, and relieving pain.



What to Expect During Treatment

Your experience will be comfortable and efficient. Each session lasts about 15-20 minutes and involves applying a hand-held device to the affected area. Some patients may experience mild side effects such as temporary redness or slight swelling, but these typically resolve within hours.
