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.
My physical therapist took the time to listen to my story and my issues, listen to me cry, and offer real solutions and goals. Everyone is so personable, they have real conversations with you, and treat you more like a friend than a patient. I will never go anywhere else or trust anyone else with my physical therapy needs.
