Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is not a standalone fix — it's one part of a comprehensive, movement-based rehab plan. At Ground Up Chiropractic, we use shockwave strategically to support tissue healing, reduce chronic tension, and improve mobility so that we can transition you into long-term, exercise-driven results.

Shockwave works by delivering acoustic energy to the affected tissue, which stimulates blood flow, breaks up adhesions, and triggers a healing response at the cellular level. It’s particularly effective for stubborn tendinopathies, calcific deposits, or chronic soft tissue dysfunctions that haven’t responded to passive care or time off.

In our model, shockwave is rarely used alone. It’s paired with movement assessment, corrective exercise, and progressive loading to ensure your results don’t stop when the machine shuts off — they continue because we build a stronger foundation beneath it.

We commonly use shockwave for:

• Chronic tendinopathies (Achilles, patellar, gluteal, etc.)

• Calcific tendonitis or soft tissue adhesions

• Plantar fasciitis and heel spur pain

• Persistent muscular trigger points or tight bands

• Shin splints or medial tibial stress syndromes

• Limited tissue response to other conservative care

• Athletes needing faster soft tissue recovery between sessions

• Post-op or post-injury tissue healing support

• Individuals preparing for or transitioning into progressive rehab
