Shockwave Therapy: Natural Relief for Chronic Pain
A Safe, Non-Surgical Solution That Restores Healing and Mobility
Chronic pain can stop your body from repairing itself, leaving you frustrated and limited in daily life. Whether it is heel pain, shoulder stiffness, or a lingering sports injury, these problems often resist rest, medication, or even other therapies.
Shockwave Therapy at St. Germain Chiropractic helps reactivate your body’s natural healing process, reduce pain, and restore mobility without surgery.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that helps stimulate the body’s natural healing process, especially in areas where recovery has slowed or stopped. Normally, when an injury occurs, your body activates its own repair mechanisms to restore damaged tissue, bone, or cells. But in cases of chronic pain, the body can stop recognizing the area as injured, shutting down the healing response and leaving you in ongoing discomfort.
Shockwave therapy works by sending strong energy pulses into the affected tissue. This creates a microtrauma, which is a small controlled “new injury” that reactivates your body’s natural healing response. The treatment also stimulates the release of bio-chemicals that encourage the formation of new blood vessels in the tissue, further enhancing repair.
Because these pulses reach deep into soft tissue and can influence bone and connective tissue, shockwave therapy has been shown to succeed where the body has struggled to heal on its own. Clinical studies over the last 20 years support its effectiveness, with research indicating up to 91 percent improvement and an 84 percent success rate across a wide range of conditions.
Conditions Treated by Shockwave Therapy
By stimulating your body’s own repair mechanisms, shockwave therapy helps restore movement, reduce pain, and support long-term healing.
What to Expect During Treatment
During a session, the practitioner applies ultrasound gel to the area and moves the applicator in gentle circles while delivering controlled pulses of energy. Most people feel a tapping or pulsing sensation that can be adjusted for comfort, and treatments usually take only a few minutes.
You may feel mild soreness afterward, similar to post-exercise stiffness, but there is no downtime. Many patients notice early relief, and improvements continue as the body’s healing response is reactivated.
Take the First Step Toward Relief
You do not have to live with chronic pain. Shockwave Therapy may be the solution that finally helps you move freely again.
