The sad truth about shockwave therapy… it’s not for everyone.

Shockwave therapy is a powerful, non-invasive treatment for chronic pain and stubborn injuries, but it isn’t suitable for every patient.

Factors like pregnancy, certain blood-thinning medications, or recent steroid injections may mean it’s not recommended.

At Shaftesbury Chiropractic Clinic we always take a full medical history first to make sure treatment is safe and right for you.

Morning heel pain after a run? Don’t brush it off. 👟
That sharp pain in your heel when you first step out of bed is a classic sign of plantar fasciitis – one of the most common injuries runners deal with. Ignoring it often makes it worse and can keep you off the road for longer than you’d like.

Shockwave therapy is a powerful treatment that helps stimulate healing in the plantar fascia. It sends targeted pulses into the injured tissue to boost blood flow and help the body repair the damage – helping runners recover faster and get back to training.

If you’re a runner in Shaftesbury or Dorset struggling with stubborn heel pain, it might be time to look at treatment that actually tackles the cause.

Worried shockwave therapy is going to be painful? Let’s clear that up. Shockwave therapy can feel intense, but it’s always tailored to you. While some mild discomfort is normal, the intensity is adjusted to suit your tolerance and gradually increased as your body adapts — keeping treatment both effective and manageable. 🤍

It’s a proven option for plantar fasciitis, Achilles pain and stubborn tendon injuries, stimulating natural healing so you can get back to moving comfortably. 🌿

LISTEN! That’s the sound of recovery🔊➡️✨

Shockwave therapy uses acoustic wave technology to stimulate natural healing, support tissue regeneration, and enhance blood circulation. In chiropractic care, shockwave helps break down scar tissue that may restrict mobility, reduce musculoskeletal pain, and improve joint function.

This non-invasive treatment encourages collagen production, supports soft tissue repair, and promotes faster recovery from chronic pain, tendon injuries, plantar fasciitis, and shoulder pain.

If you’re experiencing reduced range of motion, stiffness, or persistent pain, shockwave therapy could support your rehabilitation and restore optimal spinal health and musculoskeletal function.
