Should You Consider Shockwave Therapy?
Chronic or recurring joint pain can be debilitating and affect your ability to work, exercise, and enjoy your hobbies. At Dr. David Wren Chiropractic & Sports Injury Center, Dr. Wren specializes in treating joint pain, shoulder pain, and knee pain using chiropractic care and shockwave therapy in Leesburg, GA.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive and drug-free treatment option for chronic pain, stiffness, and loss of range of motion. The treatment uses a handheld probe to deliver safe levels of high-energy acoustic waves that penetrate the soft tissues to break down calcification, relieve pain, and promote the body’s natural healing abilities.
What to Expect During and After Shockwave Therapy
Dr. Wren will assess and evaluate your injury and discuss your symptoms and lifestyle. If he determines shockwave therapy is right for you, he will either perform a same-day treatment or schedule treatment. During treatment, he will move a handheld probe around the injured tissues to deliver soundwaves to the area. These soundwaves penetrate your soft tissues and stimulate natural healing processes in your body. You may feel pressure, tenderness, or slight pain during treatment, but most people don’t experience any negative side effects. Each treatment takes around 15 minutes, and you may need 4-6 treatments. No downtime is required.

Dr. Wren may recommend shockwave therapy to treat soft tissue injuries, musculoskeletal conditions, kidney stones, and repetitive stress or overuse injuries. Shockwave therapy can be used alone or in combination with other chiropractic therapies to treat:
- Tendinopathy
