Why You Should Integrate Shockwave Therapy Into Your Chiropractic Care Plan
Combining multiple chiropractic therapies can give you the best chance of long-term pain relief. Chiropractic therapies are designed to complement each other and jump start the body’s natural healing abilities so that you heal faster and come back stronger from an injury. At Natural Healing Arts Medical Center, Dr. David Zamikoff and his team recommend combining shockwave therapy and chiropractic care in Bradenton, FL, for patients who have back pain, knee pain, joint pain, or shoulder pain. Here is a look at the benefits of integrating shockwave therapy into your chiropractic care plan.
Improve Recovery Time and Speed Up Healing
During shockwave therapy, Dr. Zamikoff will use a small device to direct acoustic sound waves to targeted treatment areas. As these sound waves penetrate your skin, they stimulate biological and physiological processes in your body that accelerate healing. Shockwave therapy can break apart scar tissue and calcification that is causing pain and restricting movement. Acoustic sound waves also stimulate circulation and increase blood flow to injured areas, which relieves pain and inflammation and accelerates the healing process.
Reduce Reliance on Pain Medication
If the only way you have been able to control your pain enough to work, exercise, or play sports is through the use of over-the-counter or prescription pain medication, you may end up experiencing unwanted side effects. Pain medication can cause stomach upset, GI issues, dependance, and risk of overuse.
Dr. Zamikoff can help you reduce your reliance on pain medication by combining shockwave therapy with other chiropractic therapies for all-natural, drug-free pain relief. Combining shockwave therapy with chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, chiropractic physical therapy, therapeutic stretches, and lifestyle modification can ease pain and improve function and mobility while reducing your need for pain medication.
Overcome Sports or Work Injuries and Return to Your Normal Routine
Shockwave therapy is especially effective at treating overuse and repetitive stress injuries like work injuries and sports injuries. We recommend shockwave for joint pain and soft tissue injuries as well as back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, muscle fatigue, muscle cramps and spasms, and general aches and pains. Because shockwave therapy accelerates healing, we can combine it with other chiropractic therapies to improve healing, restore function and mobility, relieve pain, and get you back to your normal routine much faster.
