Shockwave Therapy in Ogden UT

Advanced Treatment for Chronic Pain and Soft-Tissue Injuries

Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates the body’s natural healing process to reduce pain and restore function. At Total Health Chiropractic, we use advanced Piezo Electric Shockwave Therapy in Ogden UT, to treat stubborn musculoskeletal conditions that have not responded to traditional care.

Shockwave therapy has been widely used in sports medicine, orthopedics, and rehabilitation to help accelerate healing in tendons, muscles, and connective tissue.

How Shockwave Therapy Works in Ogden UT

Shockwave therapy delivers high-energy acoustic waves directly into injured tissue. These sound waves create a controlled micro-trauma that triggers several healing responses, including:

• Increased blood circulation
• Breakdown of scar tissue and adhesions
• Stimulation of collagen production
• Activation of cellular repair mechanisms
• Reduction of chronic inflammation

This process helps restart healing in tissues that have become stagnant or slow to recover.

Conditions Commonly Treated With Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is especially effective for chronic and overuse injuries, including:

• Plantar fasciitis
• Achilles tendonitis
• Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
• Rotator cuff injuries
• Shoulder impingement
• Hip bursitis and IT band syndrome
• Patellar tendonitis (jumper’s knee)
• Chronic neck and trigger point pain
• Scar tissue and soft-tissue adhesions

Many patients seek shockwave therapy after months or years of unresolved pain.

Why Piezo Electric Shockwave Therapy?

There are different types of shockwave devices. Piezo electric shockwave technology allows for:

• Greater precision in targeting injured tissue
• Deeper penetration without unnecessary surface discomfort
• More consistent energy delivery
• Improved comfort compared to radial shockwave

This makes piezo shockwave especially effective for sensitive areas and chronic tendon conditions.

What to Expect During Shockwave Treatment

A typical shockwave session lasts 10–15 minutes.

During treatment:

• A handheld applicator is placed over the injured area
• Acoustic pulses are delivered in short bursts
• Patients may feel tapping or pressure, but treatment is well tolerated

There is no downtime following treatment, and most patients resume normal activity immediately.

Treatment plans typically range from 6–10 sessions, depending on the condition and severity.
