Shockwave Therapy

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) delivered as an integrated modality alongside chiropractic care for chronic musculoskeletal pain, tendinopathies, and soft-tissue conditions resistant to manual therapy alone.

True Chiropractic Group incorporates shockwave therapy (extracorporeal shockwave therapy, ESWT) as a key integrated care modality within its chiropractic rehabilitation model. Shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic pressure waves delivered to targeted musculoskeletal tissues to stimulate biological healing responses — including increased collagen synthesis, neo-vascularisation, and the breakdown of calcific deposits. At True Chiropractic, ESWT is applied by trained practitioners as a complement to chiropractic adjustments rather than as a standalone offering, making it particularly effective for patients whose soft-tissue pathology requires more than spinal manipulation alone. Clinical applications include plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow), rotator cuff tendinopathy, patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee), calcific shoulder deposits, and chronic myofascial trigger points. A typical treatment course involves 3–6 sessions delivered weekly or fortnightly, with most patients experiencing meaningful pain reduction and functional improvement within the first 2–3 sessions. Each session lasts approximately 15–30 minutes for the shockwave component, often combined within a longer chiropractic appointment. The therapy is non-invasive, requires no anaesthesia, and avoids the downtime associated with surgical or injection-based interventions. True Chiropractic's multi-location model — with sites at Orchard (Paragon), Bukit Timah (Guthrie House), Ang Mo Kio, and Tanjong Pagar — means shockwave access is available islandwide. Pricing and session availability should be confirmed directly with the clinic, as ESWT is typically incorporated into a broader care package.
