The Missing Link in Chronic Tendon Healing

01/09/2026

Ever read an MRI report for your lower back and felt overwhelmed? 😟 Don’t panic! Sometimes, those findings sound scarier than they really are—and they might not even be the cause of your pain.

For example, a recent study showed that changes in the lower back weren’t always linked to serious problems. 📚 This is why it’s so important to look at the big picture: your symptoms, physical exam, and imaging together.

The good news? Conservative care, like chiropractic treatment, can often help you feel better without jumping to extreme solutions. 🙌

Fixing tendons with focused shockwave ⁠

Tendon pain that keeps coming back? It may not be inflammation—it may be a tendon that’s stuck in a degenerative healing pattern. Focused shockwave therapy helps re-activate the body’s repair response so tissues can rebuild stronger and handle load again.
