Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted acoustic sound waves to stimulate healing in injured or painful tissues. The treatment helps increase blood flow, break down scar tissue, and activate the body’s natural repair process. At 5280 Chiropractic, shockwave therapy is often used to help patients with stubborn pain that hasn’t improved with rest or traditional treatments.

What Shockwave Therapy Can Help With
Shockwave therapy is commonly used for chronic muscle, tendon, and joint conditions, including:
- Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
- Achilles tendonitis
- Tennis elbow
- Shoulder pain
- Chronic muscle tightness
- Sports or overuse injuries
These conditions often involve irritated or damaged soft tissue, where improved circulation and tissue stimulation can help support healing.
What to Expect
Shockwave therapy sessions typically take 10–15 minutes. Most patients feel a series of rapid pulses or tapping sensations during treatment.
Many conditions improve over a short series of treatments, depending on the severity and duration of symptoms.
How Shockwave Therapy Works
During treatment, a handheld device delivers acoustic waves to the injured area. These waves penetrate deep into the tissue and stimulate a biological response that encourages repair and reduces pain.
The therapy works by:
- Increasing blood flow to damaged tissue
- Stimulating cellular repair and collagen production
- Breaking down scar tissue and chronic inflammation
Treatments are typically quick, non-invasive, and require little to no downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
Shockwave Therapy is commonly used for chronic musculoskeletal conditions involving tendons, ligaments, and fascia. These may include plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, rotator cuff-related shoulder pain, tennis elbow, jumper’s knee, and other persistent soft-tissue issues that have not responded to conservative care.
Chronic injuries may experience reduced blood flow and delayed healing. Shockwave Therapy delivers targeted acoustic waves that stimulate local circulation and cellular activity, supporting the body’s natural repair processes.
Treatment plans are individualized. We typically begin with an initial assessment and “scanning mode” to identify the specific tissue involved. Most care plans range from 5–10 sessions per area, depending on response and condition severity.
Most patients describe the sensation as a deep tapping or pulsing feeling rather than pain. Intensity is adjusted throughout the session to remain within your comfort level.
