Shockwave Therapy in Smyrna
There’s a particular kind of frustration when an injury just won’t move on. Weeks go by. You’ve iced it, rested it, maybe even had it worked on, and it’s still there, nagging at you every time you try to do the thing you actually want to do. We understand that frustration, which is why we offer Shockwave Therapy.
This non-invasive treatment uses acoustic pressure waves to encourage the body’s own healing response, and at Mustard Seed Chiropractic, we bring it into your care alongside chiropractic treatment when it fits your condition and your overall plan.
How Does It Work?
Shockwave Therapy delivers acoustic pressure waves directly to an injured or irritated area. The goal isn’t to mask symptoms for a little while and call it done. It’s to stimulate biological processes that may help improve circulation, support tissue repair, reduce discomfort, and improve mobility and range of motion.
Treatments usually take only a few minutes. Perhaps the best part? No incisions, no injections. Most people get back to their normal day right after.
What Kinds of Problems May Be Treated?
Newer injuries. Long-standing musculoskeletal problems. Areas that just haven’t responded the way you hoped to other conservative approaches. Shockwave Therapy may be considered for any of these, including:
- Wrist and hand discomfort
- Hamstring injuries and muscle strains
- Tendon, ligament, and other soft-tissue injuries
- Certain arthritis and joint-related complaints
- Sports injuries and overuse or repetitive-stress conditions
Why We Use It as Part of a Bigger Plan
Shockwave Therapy isn’t a standalone service here. It’s one more tool we may bring into your chiropractic care when Dr. JaGerran or Dr. Jessica feels it’s clinically appropriate for what’s going on with you.
Chiropractic care addresses the biomechanical and neurological side of things. Shockwave, when it’s used, targets certain soft tissue and musculoskeletal areas that need extra attention. Before recommending it, your chiropractor evaluates what’s going on, talks through your symptoms and goals with you, and determines whether Shockwave Therapy may be a good fit.
What Can You Expect?
There’s no single answer.
Some people notice a difference in pain or mobility after their very first treatment. For others, it’s more gradual, building over a recommended series of sessions. What you notice, and when, depends on the condition itself, how long it’s been around, how severe it is, and other individual factors.
That’s why we build recommendations around your situation instead of running everyone through the same plan.
