Shockwave Therapy at Crestacre Chiropractic
Shockwave therapy at Crestacre Chiropractic is a powerful, non surgical option for chronic and persistent musculoskeletal problems that have refused to settle with other care. Using focused acoustic energy, it kick starts the body’s natural repair processes in tendons and soft tissue, helping to relieve pain and restore movement. For many patients, it provides a way forward when long standing pain has begun to feel like a permanent fixture.
We welcome patients from Walsall, Aldridge, Cannock, Brownhills, Lichfield, Walsall Wood and Pelsall, with free parking directly in front of the clinic.
What is shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy delivers high intensity acoustic waves into musculoskeletal tissue to promote regeneration and healing. As these waves interact with the tissue, they accelerate cell growth and tissue repair, which can have a pain relieving effect and help to restore mobility. It is a non invasive treatment, meaning there is no surgery and no need for medication, and it is especially valuable for chronic or acute problems where persistent pain has taken hold.
How we use shockwave therapy
Before recommending shockwave therapy, your practitioner carries out a thorough assessment to confirm that your condition is likely to respond well. We then explain how the treatment works and what a typical course involves, since shockwave is usually delivered over several sessions rather than as a single treatment. To give you the best long term outcome, we often pair it with rehabilitation exercises that strengthen the area once the healing response has begun.
Conditions Shockwave Therapy Can Help
Shockwave therapy is highly effective for a number of stubborn tendon and soft tissue complaints, including tendonitis, golfer’s and tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, calcific tendonitis and rotator cuff tendinopathy. It is also used for problems such as heel spurs and other persistent areas of calcification. Your practitioner will confirm whether it is suitable for your particular condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need?
Shockwave is normally delivered as a course, which is why we offer a block of six sessions. Your practitioner will recommend a suitable number after assessing your condition.
Is shockwave therapy uncomfortable?
You may feel a strong sensation during treatment, but it is usually well tolerated and brief. Your practitioner will adjust the intensity to keep you as comfortable as possible.
When will I notice the results?
Some patients feel improvement early in the course, while tendon problems often continue to improve in the weeks following treatment as the tissue repairs.
