How Can ESWT Help with Chronic Pain?

A graphic depiction of sound waves.
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy, or ESWT, is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound
waves to stimulate healing in damaged soft tissues. It's particularly effective for chronic conditions that haven't responded to other treatments — things like plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, chronic muscle pain, and joint pain.

Here's how it works: the sound waves trigger your body's natural healing response, increasing blood flow and breaking down scar tissue in the affected area. This helps reduce pain, improve mobility, and speed up recovery, all without surgery or medication.

We often use ESWT alongside specific structural correction. While chiropractic adjustments address the structural shifts in your spine, ESWT targets the soft tissue damage that can develop as a result of those shifts. Together, they provide a more complete path to relief.
