Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy – also known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment method that uses high-energy acoustic waves to promote healing and reduce pain. It is commonly used to treat musculoskeletal conditions such as tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, calcific shoulder tendinopathy, and other chronic pain syndromes.  The process involves the application of short, high-intensity pulses to the affected area. These sound waves penetrate the tissue, stimulating blood flow, increasing the production of collagen, and promoting the body’s natural healing processes. The mechanical pressure from the shockwaves may also help to break down scar tissue or calcifications that could be contributing to pain or dysfunction.

  • Chiropractic Adjusting Instrument

    ArthroStim is a chiropractic adjusting instrument used by practitioners to deliver precise, rapid mechanical thrusts to the spine or other joints. Unlike traditional manual adjustments that involve a single, forceful thrust, the ArthroStim delivers a series of gentle, rapid pulses (up to 12 thrusts per second). This allows for a more comfortable and controlled adjustment,...
