Advanced Recovery
Shockwave & EMTT — fast, focused healing for stubborn pain.
When traditional care stalls, these two non-invasive technologies help restart healing. We pair them with chiropractic and hands-on soft-tissue work so results last beyond the table.
Shockwave Therapy
What it does
Focused acoustic waves stimulate tissue repair and break the pain–inflammation cycle in chronic or hard-to-reach areas.
- Best for: plantar fasciitis, Achilles/Patellar/Rotator cuff tendinopathy, tennis/golfer’s elbow, shin splints.
- Feels like: short tapping pulses over the target area; intensity is adjustable.
- Typical plan: 3–5 sessions, ~10–15 min each, once weekly.
- Downtime: none; light activity same day.
EMTT
What it does
Pulsed electromagnetic fields activate cellular signaling to speed up recovery and reduce irritation in difficult-to-heal tissues.
- Pairs well with: Shockwave for chronic tendons and long-standing pain.
- Feels like: rhythmic tapping or gentle pulsing over the area.
- Typical plan: 4–8 sessions, ~8–12 min each, 1–2× per week.
- Downtime: none.
Why patients choose these
Evidence-based, non-invasive, no anesthesia, clinic-friendly timings. Excellent for chronic or recurring pain that hasn’t responded to standard care.
Great fit for
Active adults, runners, cyclists, and post-partum return-to-activity—especially with tendon, fascia, or overuse issues.
Safety
Well-tolerated with minimal side effects. Not used over active malignancy, pregnancy over abdomen/pelvis, or acute DVT. We’ll screen you first.
How many visits will I need?
Most plans run 4–6 total sessions. We reassess progress every visit so you’re never over-treated.
Will it replace chiropractic or soft-tissue work?
No — these are adjuncts. We blend adjustments and 97140-style manual therapy so the changes “hold.” That’s why results last.
Is this covered by Medicare?
Medicare covers spinal adjustments during active care only. Manual therapy, extremity work, Shockwave, and EMTT are not covered. We’ll outline private-pay options up front.

For research-minded readers: we’re happy to share peer-reviewed studies on tendinopathy and plantar-fasciitis outcomes using Shockwave and combined modalities — ask us at your visit.
