At Clayton Chiropractic Center, we now offer Shockwave Therapy — an advanced treatment that helps your body heal faster, reduce pain, and restore mobility. Whether you’re a dancer, athlete, weekend warrior, or simply tired of nagging pain, this gentle yet powerful therapy can help you feel better naturally.

Safe. Natural. No Drugs or Injections Needed.

Shockwave therapy is a completely non-invasive, drug-free treatment.
There are no needles, no medications, and no downtime — just the power of focused sound waves
to stimulate your body’s own healing.

Many patients choose shockwave therapy because it may help them
avoid injections, pain medications, or even surgery.

No prescription is required — just a simple visit to see if you’re a good candidate.

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy (also called Acoustic Wave Therapy or Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy – ESWT) uses high-energy sound waves delivered directly into injured tissues. These waves stimulate your body’s natural healing response by:

• Increasing blood flow
• Breaking down scar tissue and calcifications
• Stimulating collagen production
• Reducing inflammation and pain

Think of it as jump-starting the healing process where your body needs it most.

What Does It Feel Like?

Shockwave therapy doesn’t “hurt,” but you’ll feel it working. Most patients describe the sensation as:

“A deep tapping or pulse in the area — firm, but tolerable.”

The intensity can be adjusted based on your comfort level. Each session lasts about 5–10 minutes, and you can return to normal activity right away — no downtime, no recovery period.

Conditions We Treat with Shockwave Therapy

• Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
• Achilles tendinitis
• Tennis or golfer’s elbow
• Shoulder tendinopathy and rotator cuff pain
• Hip and gluteal tendinitis
• Osteoarthritis
• Neuropathy
• Shin splints
• Chronic neck, back, or knee pain
• Scar tissue or myofascial trigger points

Besides age related pains like osteoarthritis and neuropathy, it’s especially beneficial for dancers, runners, and athletes dealing with overuse injuries that just won’t heal. Check out all the research done and learn more about our FDA approved device.

What to Expect at Your Visit

1. Assessment: We’ll evaluate your condition and determine if shockwave is right for you.
2. Treatment: A handheld device delivers focused sound waves to the affected area.
3. Relief: Many patients notice improvement after the first visit — though a full treatment plan usually includes 4–10 sessions spaced weekly.

Pairing shockwave with chiropractic adjustments, stretching, or acupuncture often provides even faster, longer-lasting results.
