Shockwave Therapy in Brisbane
Looking for a non-invasive way to support healing and get back to moving more comfortably? Shockwave therapy is designed to stimulate your body’s natural healing process and may be used for a range of musculoskeletal concerns. It is often recommended to help restore movement, reduce discomfort, and improve overall function.
At Stott Chiropractic, shockwave therapy can be used alongside chiropractic care to help address the underlying cause of your discomfort, not just the symptoms you notice day to day. Shockwave therapy can also be used as a stand-alone option, depending on your needs and goals.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
Shockwave therapy delivers controlled, high-intensity sound waves into the affected area. These waves help break down scar tissue and other dysfunctional tissue while stimulating circulation, encouraging tissue repair, reducing pain sensitivity, and supporting better mobility and function. It may be especially helpful when healing has slowed or plateaued, helping to restart the recovery process.
What Can It Help With?
This care may be recommended for a range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
- Shoulder pain and frozen shoulder
- Tendonitis and overuse injuries
- Chronic joint discomfort in the knee, ankle, or wrist
- Bursitis
- Nerve-related discomfort
- Osteoarthritis
What to Expect
Sessions are quick and performed in the clinic. During your visit, you may feel a tapping or pulsing sensation over the area being worked on. Mild to moderate discomfort may be felt during care, but most patients tolerate it well. Once your appointment is over, you can return to your normal daily activities.
How Soon Will I See Results?
We find that the majority of patients notice an improvement after their first visit. Of course, every person responds differently, and your experience will depend on your individual situation and how long the issue has been going on.
How Often Will I Need Care?
This is very case dependent, but in general, sessions are spaced once or twice a week over four to eight weeks. Your chiropractor will recommend a plan based on your presentation, goals, and how your body responds along the way.
