Our experienced chiropractors use this cutting-edge therapy to treat a range of conditions, helping you get back to a pain-free, active lifestyle.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-surgical treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to target damaged tissues, promoting the body’s natural healing processes. By increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and breaking down scar tissue, shockwave therapy stimulates the repair of tendons, muscles, and ligaments. This makes it an excellent option for Cottonwood Heights residents dealing with chronic pain and injuries that have not responded to other treatments.

What to Expect During Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a quick, non-invasive treatment that usually lasts between 10 to 20 minutes per session. During the procedure, a handheld device delivers high-energy sound waves directly to the affected area. These waves penetrate deep into the tissues to stimulate healing and relieve pain.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the treatment, with only a mild tingling sensation. The number of sessions required depends on the condition being treated, but most patients see significant improvements after 3 to 5 sessions. Since there’s no downtime, you can return to your regular activities immediately after each session.
