Shockwave Therapy in Dallas

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing deep within tissue. These waves create microtrauma that triggers your body’s repair mechanisms. Developed initially to break down kidney stones, this versatile treatment is now used to address numerous musculoskeletal conditions, promoting tissue repair, pain relief, and faster recovery.

Common Conditions Treated

Shockwave therapy is a proven treatment for a variety of chronic pain and injury-related conditions. These include the following:

Foot & Heel Pain: Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy
Elbow & Shoulder Discomfort: Tennis elbow, calcific tendinitis
Knee & Leg Pain: Patellar tendinitis (jumper’s knee), shin splints
Hip & Back Discomfort: Hip bursitis, facet joint pain, ligament-related back discomfort
Chronic Muscle & Joint Pain: Myofascial trigger points, wrist tendinitis, arthritis-related knee discomfort
Bone Healing Support: Non-healing stress fractures

Many patients find significant relief and faster recovery after treatment, especially when other methods have failed.

Benefits Beyond Pain Relief

Shockwave therapy does more than alleviate discomfort—it supports your body’s natural healing process. How does it do that? Stimulating blood flow and cellular repair helps speed up recovery from injuries and chronic conditions. This drug-free approach effectively relieves discomfort in muscles, tendons, and joints without the need for medication.

For those looking to avoid surgery, ESWT provides a safe and non-invasive alternative with little to no downtime. It’s especially beneficial for athletes and active individuals recovering from overuse injuries, helping them return to their routines faster. Some patients use it as a post-surgical recovery tool to enhance healing and improve overall outcomes.

What to Expect

The procedure is quick—typically taking about 15-20 minutes. Most patients report minimal discomfort during treatment, describing the sensation as similar to a light tapping on the affected area. Many notice improvement after just 3-5 sessions.

Is This Treatment Right For You?

If you’ve struggled with ongoing pain despite trying rest, physical therapy, or pain medications, shockwave therapy could provide the relief you seek.

Please note that not everyone is suitable for this therapy. Pregnant women, those with certain medical conditions, or patients taking specific medications may need alternative treatments. A thorough evaluation with our chiropractor will determine if ESWT is right for you.
