Shockwave Therapy in Muskegon

Are you seeking an effective way to relieve your chronic pain? Lakewinds Chiropractic Center in Muskegon offers shockwave therapy, a non-invasive and innovative treatment that uses sound waves to promote healing and relieve long-standing discomfort. This advanced therapy is an excellent alternative to surgery for multiple musculoskeletal conditions, helping patients find lasting relief and improved function.

How Does It Work?

Shockwave therapy sends high-energy sound waves to target injured areas of the body. These waves stimulate the body’s natural healing processes by increasing blood flow, promoting the formation of new blood vessels, boosting collagen production, and reducing inflammation. It’s a powerful way to heal damaged tissues and relieve chronic pain without invasive procedures.

In focused shockwave therapy, the waves are concentrated through a lens, penetrating deeper into the tissues—up to 4.7 inches—ensuring precise treatment. This technique is particularly effective for conditions like plantar fasciitis and rotator cuff injuries.

Addressing an Array of Conditions

Shockwave therapy is clinically proven to improve pain and function, especially for chronic conditions such as:

• Plantar fasciitis
• Chronic knee pain
• Shoulder pain, including rotator cuff injuries
• Chronic tendinitis
• Long-standing ligament and muscle injuries

Many patients begin to see improvement after just a few treatments, with the full course typically requiring 3-6 sessions. This method is especially helpful for those seeking alternatives to surgery or struggling with chronic conditions that haven’t responded to other therapies.

What to Expect During Your Session

Each shockwave session lasts for a standard time of 20 minutes. You may feel slight discomfort during the treatment as the device is applied to the affected area, but this is temporary and part of the process to promote healing. Sessions are usually scheduled weekly, with most patients experiencing noticeable improvements within 3-4 visits.

The benefits of shockwave therapy include:

• Short treatment times
• Few treatments are needed to get results
• Non-invasive and drug-free
• Minimal side effects
• Faster recovery compared to surgery
• Improved mobility and function
• Long-lasting pain relief

Is Shockwave Therapy Right for You?

Shockwave therapy may be an excellent option if you’re struggling with chronic pain or considering surgery. This treatment helps restart the body’s healing process, making it particularly effective for conditions that are slow to heal. Combining shockwave therapy with chiropractic care can offer even greater relief, providing a holistic approach to pain management.

While this therapy is highly effective, following your practitioner’s recommendations for post-treatment care is essential, such as avoiding physical activity for 48 hours afterwards to ensure optimal results.
