Shockwave Therapy vs. Traditional Chiropractic Techniques for Pain Relief

Traditional chiropractic adjustments focus on spinal alignment and joint mobility. Your chiropractor applies controlled force to restore proper movement and relieve nerve pressure. Shockwave therapy takes a different approach. Using the Miracle Wave® system, acoustic waves penetrate soft tissues, breaking up scar tissue and inflammation while triggering healing.

Wondering when to use chiropractic care alone? Adjustments work well for alignment issues and joint restrictions. Many patients find relief from back pain, neck stiffness, and headaches through adjustments alone.

When Shockwave Therapy Enhances Recovery

Advantages of Combining Both Approaches

While adjustments address structural problems, shockwave therapy tackles soft tissue. Your adjustment restores movement while acoustic waves enhance blood flow and reduce inflammation. This dual approach often produces results neither technique achieves alone.

Patients typically complete shockwave treatment in three to five sessions. The acoustic waves enhance cellular production and accelerate repair. Combined with adjustments, improvement often comes faster.

The therapy reduces inflammation while promoting tissue regeneration, meaning less pain and shorter recovery times.

Morter Family Chiropractic patients notice the difference. People with chronic plantar fasciitis find relief after adding shockwave. Athletes sidelined by tendonitis return to their sport sooner.
