What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy uses harmless, focused acoustic waves to jump-start healing in injured tissue. The waves are directed into the target area, where they help repair cellular damage, break down scar tissue, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation. It is a non-invasive way to accelerate recovery from pain that has stalled out, all without medication or surgery.
We offer shockwave therapy at ProWellness Family Chiropractic to help patients recover from tissue injuries, sports injuries, and a variety of chronic pains. It is especially useful for the nagging tendon and joint problems that have not responded to rest alone. You sit or lie comfortably while a handheld device delivers the waves, and the session is short. Schedule your appointment and experience non-invasive healing.
For people living with chronic musculoskeletal pain, or anyone looking for a non-invasive option for stubborn injuries, shockwave therapy is often a smart choice. The acoustic waves used in the treatment can help heal a variety of conditions and bring your pain down. If you are ready to say goodbye to the problems holding you back, schedule an appointment with ProWellness Family Chiropractic. Shockwave therapy is one of the recovery tools in our sports medicine clinic in Lincolnton, and it targets the pain that other approaches give up on.
What to Expect During and After Shockwave Therapy
A session lasts around 20 minutes. A handheld device delivers focused acoustic waves to the target area, and while you may feel a tapping or a mild pulse, the treatment is not put through any major strain on your body. Afterward, some patients feel a bit of immediate relief and occasionally some minor soreness that fades within the day. Greater relief tends to build in the days and weeks that follow, and many people feel the difference for six to eight weeks.
Is Shockwave Therapy Right for You?
Shockwave therapy is a strong option for stubborn tendon and joint pain that has not responded to rest, and it is non-invasive and easy on the body. It is not for everyone. People with certain blood-clotting disorders, active infections or tumors in the area, and some other conditions should avoid it, and pregnancy calls for caution. We screen your history before we begin so we only use shockwave where it is safe and likely to help.
Cost, Insurance, and Payment
What shockwave therapy costs depends on how many sessions your plan includes and whether it is paired with other care. Coverage varies by plan, and many policies treat shockwave therapy differently than standard visits. Our front desk verifies your benefits before you begin and explains self-pay options clearly, so you know what to expect before you commit.

Shockwave Therapy FAQs
Is shockwave therapy painful?
It is usually not painful. The treatment is non-invasive and does not put your body through major strain, so the process stays easy and lets you resume normal activities quickly. You may feel a tapping or mild pulse during the session.
How long does shockwave therapy last?
A session runs about 20 minutes. After treatment, many patients feel a reduction in their pain that can last anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks, with relief often building in the days that follow.
What does shockwave therapy actually do?
It directs acoustic waves into the target area. When the waves reach the tissue, they help break down scar tissue and support healing while reducing inflammation and improving blood flow, which brings other benefits along with pain relief.
What should I expect after treatment?
Most patients notice some minor pain relief and, on occasion, some minor soreness. Greater relief usually develops later, and any soreness typically fades within the day.
How many shockwave sessions will I need?
It depends on the injury and how your body responds. We map out a realistic plan at your first visit and adjust it as you improve rather than locking you into a set number up front.
Does insurance cover shockwave therapy?
Coverage depends on your plan, and many policies treat shockwave therapy differently. Our front desk verifies your specific benefits before you start and explains self-pay options so there are no surprises.
