If you struggle with a frozen shoulder, Achilles tendonitis, golfer’s or tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, shin splints, or any number of tendon, bone, or muscle ailments, you’re no doubt tired of planning your whole day around the pain and avoiding activities you love. Your doctor may have said you might need surgery, which comes with many risks and side effects. But before you schedule that surgery, schedule an appointment with Los Angeles chiropractor Dr. Marvin Lee first. In addition to chiropractic care, the team here at SoCal Spinal Decompression Center, Lee Chiropractic, Inc. provides FDA-approved, non-invasive, drug-free pain relief with shockwave therapy that uses painless bursts of high-frequency energy to penetrate and heal injured tissues—even bone! This stimulates cell repair deep within damaged tissues. During the appointment, you and Dr. Lee will discuss your pain and whether you might be a good candidate for shockwave therapy and other natural pain relief treatments.
What Shockwave Therapy Is
It might sound shocking, but shockwave therapy has actually been around since the 1960s, when scientists in Germany discovered that delivering pulses of high energy could break painful kidney stones apart, making patient recovery less painful. Further research and technological advances over the years demonstrated the benefits of shockwave therapy in connective tissue injury healing too. The shockwaves have multiple therapeutic effects:
- Increasing circulation and oxygenation at the injury site
- Breaking down scar tissue
- Stimulating cellular regeneration to repair damaged muscles, tendons, and even bones.
How Our Los Angeles Chiropractor Applies Shockwave Therapy
Dr. Lee will first meet with you to evaluate your condition and then develop a treatment plan that may include a series of three to four shockwave sessions or other treatments appropriate for your condition. During these appointments, our staff will rub an applicator that delivers high-energy waves over the affected area. It’s a comfortable process that can last between 15 minutes to half an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area. You can go right back to work after the appointment. And although some patients report minor discomfort after treatment, this usually resolves in a few hours and leads to overall pain relief and symptom improvement over time as the area heals.
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy
Our patients who have had shockwave therapy are especially happy that the pain they’d been living with for weeks or even years is finally gone and they can get back to activities they’d been missing. Because this is a non-invasive treatment, there is no risk of infection, no time off for an incision to heal, and no need to go under anesthesia with all of its potential risks and side effects. It’s also a great way for patients to get drug-free pain relief that lasts, helping them avoid painkiller addiction and side effects. Shockwave therapy is effective, saves time, accelerates the healing process, and helps people return to a better quality of life.
