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.
They were considerate of my needs when it came to scheduling and were very compassionate and knowledgeable about my injury and guided me with exercises at the facility as well as a regimen to follow on my own. Pretty much everything I could ask for – skill, knowledge, compassion, and friendliness.
