If you are experiencing inflammation or an injury to the spine or extremities, it is important to seek treatment to prevent further complications from occurring. At Thiesing Family Chiropractic Center in Columbia, TN, we provide Shockwave Therapy to provide relief and help you return to your normal routine quickly. Before visiting us, learn more about the benefits of Shockwave Therapy below:
Shockwave Therapy is an innovative technology that treats soft tissue with a rapid acoustic pulse. The treatment can reach as deep as 12.5 centimeters below the skin. Along with that, it is non-invasive and may replace traditional manipulation treatments, which are more limited in scope and require more time to apply. Shockwave therapy also does not require any hands-on or forceful manipulation.
The pulse generated helps target the source of pain and breaks down scar tissue around it. Then, the treatment rejuvenates the soft tissues and stimulates cells so they can regenerate and heal quickly. Some soreness, redness, swelling, or light bruising may result initially, however, it will fade as the tissues begin to heal and are no other risks or side effects. Shockwave Therapy treatment typically takes three to five weeks and each session lasts 5-10 minutes, depending on the condition being treated.
