What is Focused Shockwave Therapy?
Focused shockwave therapy is a noninvasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate biological responses within targeted tissues. These waves may help reduce pain and support recovery in certain musculoskeletal conditions, particularly chronic tendon problems.
Unlike radial pressure wave devices, Shockwave delivers focused acoustic waves that can be directed toward specific tissue depths. This allows for targeted treatment of muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues without injections or surgery.

Shockwave Therapy & Chiropractic Care

Focused shockwave therapy isn't just for sports injuries. It may also be beneficial for certain types of back and neck discomfort, particularly when muscles and soft tissues surrounding the spine are involved.
At Lazzell Family Chiropractic, shockwave therapy can complement chiropractic adjustments by providing an additional approach to addressing painful muscles and soft tissues. While chiropractic care focuses on joint mobility and function, shockwave therapy uses targeted acoustic waves that may help reduce pain and improve function in certain musculoskeletal conditions.
Shockwave therapy is also available as a standalone treatment. You do not need to receive chiropractic adjustments to schedule a shockwave appointment.
