What is Focus Shockwave Therapy?

Focus Shockwave Therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves to penetrate deep into tissues, stimulating cellular repair, increasing blood flow, and promoting natural healing. This technology is widely used by top sports medicine clinics and has been proven effective for a variety of conditions, including:

✔️ Chronic Tendonitis (Shoulder, Elbow, Knee, Achilles)
✔️ Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Spurs
✔️ Muscle Strains & Ligament Injuries
✔️ Joint Pain, Arthritis & Stiffness
✔️ Slow-Healing Injuries

What to Expect

Each session is quick and performed in-office. You may experience a mild discomfort during treatment, but most patients find it very tolerable. Afterward, your body begins its healing process, and many patients report noticeable improvement within a few sessions.

Is Focus Shockwave Therapy Right for You?

If you’ve been dealing with lingering pain, injuries that won’t fully heal, or treatments that haven’t worked, Focus Shockwave Therapy could be the game-changer you need. It’s time to stop masking the pain and start addressing the root cause.

What About Cortisone Injections?

If you’re dealing with chronic pain, joint issues, or soft tissue injuries, you’ve probably been offered a cortisone injection at some point. While cortisone can provide quick pain relief, it’s important to understand the limitations—and the risks—of relying on it.

At our office, we offer Focus Shockwave Therapy, a non-invasive treatment that not only reduces pain but also stimulates real healing. Let’s compare the two:

1. Pain Relief vs. True Healing

  • Cortisone Injections: These shots work by reducing inflammation, which can temporarily ease pain. However, they do not repair damaged tissues or address the root cause of the problem.
  • Focus Shockwave Therapy: Unlike cortisone, shockwave therapy stimulates your body’s natural repair process. It increases blood flow, breaks down scar tissue, and promotes cellular regeneration—helping your body heal rather than just masking symptoms.

2. Short-Term vs. Long-Term Results

  • Cortisone Injections: Pain relief typically lasts a few weeks to a few months, but as the effects wear off, the pain often returns—sometimes worse than before.
  • Focus Shockwave Therapy: Because it promotes healing at the cellular level, the results are longer-lasting. Many patients experience progressive improvement over weeks and months as their tissues repair.

3. Risks and Side Effects

  • Cortisone Injections: While effective for short-term relief, repeated injections can weaken tendons, degrade cartilage, and increase the risk of joint degeneration. Most doctors limit cortisone shots to 3-4 per year to avoid these complications.
  • Focus Shockwave Therapy: No drugs, no injections, and no risk of tissue damage. Instead of breaking tissues down, it helps build them back up—making it a safe, long-term solution.

4. How Many Treatments Are Needed?

  • Cortisone Injections: Some people experience relief after a single shot, but many require repeat injections as the effects wear off.
  • Focus Shockwave Therapy: Most patients need 3-6 sessions, depending on the severity of the condition. Each treatment builds on the last, leading to long-lasting improvements rather than temporary suppression of symptoms.

Which One is Right for You?

If you need quick, temporary pain relief, a cortisone shot might be an option. But if you’re looking for true healing and long-term relief, Focus Shockwave Therapy is the better choice.

Why just cover up the pain when you can actually fix the problem?

What’s The Difference?

Radial Pressure Wave vs. Focused Shockwave Therapy

If you’ve been researching shockwave therapy, you might have come across two different types—Radial Pressure Wave Therapy (RPW) and Focused Shockwave Therapy (F-SWT). While both are often grouped under the term “shockwave,” they work very differently and produce different results.

Radial Pressure Wave Therapy (RPW) – Surface-Level Relief

Radial Pressure Wave Therapy works by sending gentle pulses into the tissue using compressed air. These pulses help increase circulation, relax tight muscles, and reduce pain—kind of like a deep tissue massage. However, because the energy spreads outward, it doesn’t penetrate deeply or target specific injuries as effectively. It’s best for muscle tension, trigger points, and general pain relief but is usually a short-term solution rather than a long-term fix.

✅ Best for: Tight muscles, mild tendon issues, temporary pain relief
⏳ Feels like: A strong tapping or vibration on the skin
🔁 How many sessions? Usually 6-10 sessions for ongoing results

Focused Shockwave Therapy (FSW) – Deeper Healing, Faster Recovery

Focused Shockwave Therapy (also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy, or ESWT) is a much more powerful and precise treatment that targets deep-seated injuries and stubborn pain. Instead of spreading outward like radial waves, Focused Shockwave sends high-energy waves directly into the damaged tissue, reaching as deep as 4+ inches. These waves stimulate cellular repair, break down scar tissue, and help regenerate tendons, ligaments, and even bones.

✅ Best for: Chronic tendon pain, scar tissue, deep injuries, non-healing fractures
⏳ Feels like: A deep, concentrated pulse (briefly intense but tolerable)
🔁 How many sessions? Typically 3-6 sessions with long-lasting benefits

Which One Is Right for You?

If you’re looking for temporary relief from muscle tightness or soreness, Radial Pressure Wave Therapy may help. But if you have a chronic condition that won’t heal, a deeper injury, or need real long-term recovery, Focused Shockwave Therapy is the more effective solution.

At 603 Chiropractic, we offer Focused Shockwave Therapy because it delivers faster, more powerful, and lasting results. If you’re struggling with pain that won’t go away, book an appointment today and let’s get you on the path to healing! 💪

Class 4 Laser Therapy vs. Focused Shockwave Therapy

Both Class 4 Laser Therapy and Focused Shockwave Therapy are advanced treatments for pain and injury recovery, but they work in very different ways. If you’re wondering which one is best for you, here’s a simple breakdown.

Class 4 Laser Therapy – Gentle Pain Relief & Tissue Stimulation

Class 4 Laser Therapy uses high-powered light energy to penetrate the skin and stimulate healing at a cellular level. The laser increases blood flow, reduces inflammation, and promotes tissue repair, making it a gentle and non-invasive way to support recovery.

✅ Best for: General pain relief, reducing inflammation, mild injuries
⏳ Feels like: A warm, soothing sensation on the skin
🔁 How many sessions? Often 8-12 sessions for noticeable improvement

While laser therapy can speed up healing and reduce discomfort, it doesn’t break down scar tissue or stimulate deep tissue repair the way Focused Shockwave Therapy does.

Focused Shockwave Therapy – Deep, Targeted Healing

Focused Shockwave Therapy delivers high-energy sound waves directly into the injured area, reaching as deep as 4+ inches into muscles, tendons, and even bones. This energy jumpstarts the body’s natural healing process by breaking up scar tissue, stimulating cellular repair, and increasing blood supply—all of which lead to stronger, long-term recovery.

✅ Best for: Chronic tendon pain, scar tissue, deep injuries, slow-healing conditions
⏳ Feels like: A deep, pulsing sensation (briefly intense but tolerable)
🔁 How many sessions? Typically 3-6 sessions with long-lasting benefits

Which One Is Right for You?

If you’re looking for gentle pain relief and inflammation control, Class 4 Laser Therapy can help. But if you have stubborn pain, deep injuries, or a condition that hasn’t healed with other treatments, Focused Shockwave Therapy is the stronger, more effective option.

At 603 Chiropractic, we specialize in Focused Shockwave Therapy because it delivers real, lasting results for chronic pain and injuries. If you’re tired of temporary relief and want a true healing solution, book an appointment today! 💪
