Radial Shockwave Therapy uses a handheld device to generate mechanical pressure waves that are delivered to the affected area. These waves help break down scar tissue and stimulate the body’s natural healing response by increasing blood flow and promoting tissue regeneration.
Important: Despite the name, this therapy does not involve electrical shocks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Does shockwave therapy hurt?
Shockwave therapy may feel slightly uncomfortable during treatment, but most patients tolerate it well. Many describe it as a deep pressure sensation that quickly fades after the session.
Will it make my condition worse before it gets better?
You may experience mild soreness after treatment as the body begins to heal. This is part of the natural inflammatory process that helps rebuild healthy tissue.

No referral is necessary. You can book a shockwave appointment directly with Caron Chiropractic.

Some insurance plans may cover the treatment. We also offer affordable options for patients paying out of pocket.

Each treatment typically lasts between 10 and 15 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients benefit from 6 to 9 sessions, spaced over several weeks. Your exact treatment plan will be customized based on your condition.
Are there any restrictions or side effects?
Shockwave therapy is not recommended for pregnant individuals or patients with certain medical conditions (e.g., tumors, severe circulatory disorders, or who take blood thinners). We will assess your suitability before starting treatment.
