Shock Wave Therapy

Chronic pain can make everyday activities more difficult, especially when injuries or tendon problems do not respond to rest, medication, or traditional treatments.

By promoting tissue repair and improving blood circulation, shock wave therapy helps reduce pain and restore function without surgery or lengthy recovery times.

If you are looking for shock wave therapy in Carson City, our personalized approach can help you get back to doing what you enjoy.

What Shock Wave Therapy Can Help With

Shock Wave Therapy is commonly used for chronic musculoskeletal conditions that involve damaged tendons, ligaments, muscles, or connective tissue.
What Shock Wave Therapy Can Help With

We regularly help patients with:

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Achilles tendon pain
  • Tennis elbow
  • Golfer’s elbow
  • Shoulder tendon injuries
  • Rotator cuff tendinopathy
  • Patellar tendon pain (jumper’s knee)
  • Hip pain
  • Chronic muscle tightness
  • Calcific tendonitis
  • Soft tissue injuries that have not healed properly
Many of these conditions develop gradually and may continue to worsen without proper treatment.

How Shock Wave Therapy Works

Shock Wave Therapy delivers controlled acoustic waves into injured tissue.

These sound waves help stimulate your body’s natural healing response by:

  • Increasing blood circulation
  • Stimulating new tissue repair
  • Breaking down scar tissue and calcifications
  • Reducing chronic inflammation
  • Encouraging collagen production
  • Improving mobility while reducing pain
Rather than simply masking symptoms, treatment focuses on supporting long-term healing.

A Personalized Treatment Plan

Every injury is different. Before beginning treatment, we evaluate your condition, medical history, activity level, and recovery goals to determine whether shock wave therapy is appropriate.

Your personalized treatment plan may include:

  • Shock Wave Therapy sessions
  • Chiropractic care when appropriate
  • Soft tissue therapy
  • Stretching and rehabilitation exercises
  • Posture and movement recommendations
  • Home care guidance
Our goal is to help you recover as efficiently as possible while reducing the chance of future injury.

What to Expect During Your First Visit

Your first appointment begins with a detailed evaluation.

We discuss your symptoms, review your health history, and examine the affected area to determine whether Shock Wave Therapy is the right treatment.

If appropriate, treatment may begin during the same visit.

Most sessions last approximately 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the condition being treated.

You will leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis, recommended treatment plan, and expected recovery timeline.

What to Expect During Your First Visit

Is Shock Wave Therapy Safe?

Shock Wave Therapy is a safe, non-surgical treatment when performed by trained healthcare professionals.

Most patients experience:

  • Minimal discomfort during treatment
  • Little to no downtime afterward

Some mild soreness may occur after treatment, which usually resolves within a day or two.

Many patients notice:

  • Improvement after two or three treatments
