What is shockwave? Shockwave is an acoustic wave that carries high energy to painful spots and muscles. This energy promotes the regeneration of tendons and other soft tissues.
Treatments last 10-15 minutes and results can be felt within 3-4 treatments. Our Rockford, Kentwood, and Zeeland clinics uses the Dolorcast system, which is the same system that is employed by Mayo Clinic.
Chronically painful conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonosis, rotator cuff dysfunction, and tennis elbow that haven’t responded well to traditional treatment may respond to this type of treatment.
I had therapy (elsewhere) and I never really thought it helped. At Hulst Jepsen, I had a much better experience. The people that work there are warm and caring. They kept track of my progress and pushed me to get better. I can do so much more without pain! Thank you all!
