Chronic pain can take over your life — whether it’s nagging heel pain, tight shoulders, or joint pain that won’t go away. When rest, stretching, or even medications stop working, there’s another option that’s safe, non-invasive, and backed by science: Shockwave Therapy.
At Re-LAX Chiropractic + Wellness, we use this advanced treatment to help patients heal faster, move better, and finally get lasting relief without surgery.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy (also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy, or ESWT) uses high-energy acoustic sound waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing process. These waves reach deep into the tissues, breaking up scar tissue and increasing blood flow where it’s needed most.
Unlike injections or surgery, shockwave therapy doesn’t mask pain — it targets the root cause and encourages your body to repair itself.
What Conditions Can It Help?
At Re-LAX Chiropractic + Wellness, we use shockwave therapy for many common conditions, including:
Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
Tennis or golfer’s elbow
Shoulder tendinitis or calcific tendon pain
Chronic neck or back muscle tightness
Knee pain and jumper’s knee
Hip or IT band tightness
Scar tissue and soft-tissue restrictions
Muscle strains and old sports injuries
Because it helps restore circulation and break down adhesions, many patients find relief after just a few sessions.
Why Patients Choose Shockwave Therapy at Re-LAX
Not all shockwave treatments are the same. At Re-LAX Chiropractic + Wellness, we take a personalized, integrated approach to ensure you get the best results:
Advanced Equipment – We use medical-grade devices that deliver precise, targeted pressure waves for optimal results.
Comprehensive Care – Shockwave therapy works even better when combined with chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue work, and rehabilitation.
Personalized Plans – Each treatment plan is tailored to your specific pain source and goals.
Non-Invasive & Proven – Shockwave therapy is FDA-cleared and supported by clinical research showing its success in treating musculoskeletal pain.
What to Expect During Treatment
Each session lasts about 10–20 minutes, depending on the area treated. You may feel a series of quick pulses or tapping sensations — most patients describe it as mildly uncomfortable but very tolerable.
After treatment, you can return to normal activities right away. Most patients notice:
Pain relief within a few sessions
Improved flexibility and movement
Better healing over time as inflammation decreases
