ShockWave Therapy in Phoenix
Finding effective, non-invasive ways to support the body’s healing process is one of our greatest passions at Breathe Chiropractic. One of the newest tools we offer is ShockWave Therapy—a powerful treatment that targets stubborn pain and damaged tissue at its source.
Not Shocking at All
Despite the name, which some may find a bit alarming, ShockWave therapy isn’t shocking at all. It uses acoustic energy (not electricity) to stimulate healing in damaged tissue. The treatment is mechanical, not surgical—it works by breaking up old scar tissue and encouraging your body to recognize and repair it.
Most people find the session very tolerable. You may feel a bit of pressure or pulsing during the treatment—it’s often described as mildly uncomfortable, but brief. Many clients say the relief that follows is well worth it.
ShockWave has been used successfully for decades in hospitals and clinics around the world. The version we use is specifically designed for chiropractors—it’s safe, shallow-penetrating, and focused solely on damaged tissue, leaving healthy areas untouched.
“Using acoustic technology, we can break down scar tissue, release healing factors, and repair even the longest-standing injured tissue. The treatment is quick and non-invasive,” emphasizes Dr. Carla.
Conditions It Can Address
This therapy is particularly helpful for chronic and recurring pain that hasn’t responded to other approaches. It’s a great option if you’re dealing with:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Frozen shoulder or rotator cuff injuries
- Tennis or Golfer’s Elbow
- De Quervain Tendonitis
- Sciatica
- Meniscus damage
- Hip or knee arthritis
- Neuropathy or soft tissue pain
It can also support healing in newer injuries—giving your body the extra signal it needs to prioritize tissue repair.
Why We Chose It
Dr. Carla sought out this therapy after hearing from colleagues about its incredible results for years. Many clients with long-standing pain simply need a little more help getting their body to notice and heal lingering damage. ShockWave offers that extra boost—without the need for drugs, injections, or surgery.
Quick, Convenient & Available Soon at the Practice
Sessions are quick and completed right in our office. While certain spots may feel mildly uncomfortable during treatment, most people find it very manageable—and many experience noticeable relief soon after. Because it supports your body’s natural healing abilities, ShockWave Therapy blends easily into your wellness plan, helping you move more freely and comfortably.
