A short talk describing shockwave therapy as a chiropractic-aligned treatment that stimulates the body’s natural healing processes. The speaker highlights that shockwave is especially useful for poorly perfused tissues and calcium-deposit conditions, naming examples such as plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel, thoracic outlet syndrome, and calcific tendinopathies.
There's so many different things we can do with shockwave, but there are some things that are very much shockwave, specific things that we do best in the world of shockwave therapy. You'll hear me talk about a lot as shockwave, I think, is the most chiropractic therapy, because at its core, we're just stimulating the body to do what it's supposed to be doing, getting rid of things that are inhibiting it from doing so. So things that are lower blood flow, that don't get as much natural oxygenation are great for shockwaves. So think about plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder syndrome, carpal tunnel, thoracic outlet, anything that involves calcium depositing. So calcific tendinopathies. Those are big things that are like, okay, very obvious shockwave therapy options.
