Discover the benefits of shockwave therapy for chronic pain, tendonitis, and injury recovery in Vernon, BC at Mickelson Family Chiropractic.

Shockwave Therapy for
Chronic Pain Relief

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that accelerates healing in chronic pain conditions affecting muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It’s especially effective for soft tissue injuries that have not responded well to other treatments.

Conditions Treated

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Rotator cuff injuries and calcific tendonitis
  • Achilles tendinopathy
  • Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
  • Hip bursitis
  • Jumper’s knee
  • Shin splints
  • Chronic muscular pain and scar tissue buildup

How It Works

Shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves that penetrate deep into the affected area. These waves stimulate blood flow, reduce inflammation, and break down calcifications and scar tissue. Over time, this encourages the body’s natural healing process, relieves pain, and restores mobility.

Key Benefits

Fast, targeted pain relief

Stimulates collagen production and tissue regeneration

Increases circulation and metabolic activity

Non-invasive alternative to surgery

Minimal side effects with little to no downtime

Shockwave treatments are typically brief and performed once a week over a series of 3–6 sessions.

Both Dr. Scott and Dr. Lidia Mickelson are certified to provide shockwave therapy and will determine the best treatment plan based on your unique condition and response to care.
