Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy in Orlando
Targeted Care for Persistent Pain
When lingering pain makes walking, working, or enjoying your favorite activities difficult, finding the right treatment starts with understanding the cause. Hijama Chiropractic & Acupuncture now offers shockwave therapy as another option for patients seeking relief from certain tendon and soft-tissue conditions.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a noninvasive treatment that delivers acoustic energy through the skin to a targeted area. It may be recommended for persistent problems such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon pain, and tennis elbow, particularly when other conservative treatments have not provided enough relief.
Despite its name, shockwave therapy does not deliver an electrical shock. It uses mechanical pulses to interact with the affected tissue without incisions.
How Does It Work?
The pulses are thought to stimulate the body’s repair response and influence pain signaling in the treated area. The goal is to help reduce discomfort and improve function over time.
Shockwave therapy may be used alongside exercises, activity adjustments, and other appropriate care as part of a broader treatment plan.
How Is the Treatment Performed?
Treatment begins with an evaluation of your symptoms, medical history, and the area causing discomfort. We will determine whether shockwave therapy is appropriate and discuss the potential benefits, risks, and alternatives with you.
During treatment, gel is applied to the skin, and a handheld applicator delivers pulses to the targeted area. You may hear clicking sounds and feel tapping or pressure.
The number and spacing of treatments depend on your condition and response. Your provider will explain what to expect afterward and give you guidance on activity between appointments.
