Shockwave Therapy

Non-invasive high-energy acoustic wave therapy for chronic musculoskeletal conditions including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, tennis elbow, and rotator cuff injuries.

Well-Balanced Family Chiropractic offers shockwave therapy (extracorporeal shock wave therapy, ESWT) as a drug-free, non-invasive treatment for a range of chronic tendinopathies and soft tissue conditions. The therapy delivers high-energy acoustic waves to the affected area, stimulating blood flow, promoting tissue repair, breaking down calcific deposits, and reducing pain and inflammation. It is particularly effective for conditions that have not responded adequately to conventional physiotherapy or rest. The clinic uses shockwave therapy for: plantar fasciitis and heel pain, Achilles tendinitis, rotator cuff tendinitis and shoulder pain, lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow), patellar tendinitis (jumper's knee), hip bursitis, medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints), and generalised muscle soreness and tension. Treatment sessions are typically brief and are often delivered as a course of 3–6 sessions spaced one week apart for optimal outcomes. Shockwave therapy is commonly combined with chiropractic adjustments and rehabilitation exercises at the clinic for a comprehensive musculoskeletal recovery approach. The treatment is suitable for athletes dealing with sports injuries, desk workers with repetitive strain conditions, and anyone experiencing stubborn soft tissue pain.
