Focused Shockwave Therapy in West Los Angeles
For Chronic Pain That Just Won’t Go Away
Still dealing with heel pain, tennis elbow, shoulder pain, Achilles tightness, or stubborn tendon injuries that keep coming back? Focused Shockwave Therapy is a non-surgical treatment designed to stimulate healing in chronically irritated or damaged tissue. Many patients seek shockwave therapy after months — or even years — of trying rest, stretching, massage, physical therapy, injections, or other treatments without lasting relief. At Dr. Jack Li Chiropractic, focused shockwave therapy is commonly used for chronic tendon injuries, overuse conditions, sports injuries, and stubborn joint pain. Common Conditions Treated
What Does Treatment Feel Like? Patients often describe the treatment as a rapid tapping sensation over the injured area. Chronic or irritated tissue can sometimes feel more sensitive during treatment and may create a deeper aching sensation. Treatment intensity can be adjusted based on comfort and tolerance. Most sessions are relatively quick, and many patients are able to return to normal daily activities afterward. Focused vs. Radial Shockwave Focused shockwave therapy delivers energy deeper and more precisely into injured tissue compared to radial shockwave devices, which are generally used for broader and more superficial soft tissue treatment. Treatment recommendations depend on your condition, symptoms, and examination findings. Frequently Asked QuestionsHow many sessions are needed?
Treatment recommendations vary depending on the condition and severity of symptoms. Does treatment hurt? Some discomfort is normal, especially in chronically irritated areas, but treatment intensity can be adjusted. Is there downtime? Most patients are able to return to normal daily activities the same day. Is this the same as StemWave® or SoftWave® therapy? Patients may have heard of other acoustic wave or shockwave therapy brands such as StemWave® or SoftWave®. Different manufacturers use different devices and technologies, but these treatments generally fall within the broader category of acoustic wave / shockwave therapy used for musculoskeletal conditions and chronic pain. Note: While shockwave therapy has been studied for other medical conditions, our office only provides treatment for musculoskeletal and orthopedic conditions.
