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 have been very pleased with everything about Hulst Jepsen. I have gone there for three different rehabs, most recently for a knee replacement. My therapist listens, makes recommendations, and encourages and/or challenges as appropriate. Very knowledgeable yet compassionate.
