Why nothing else has worked

Tired of Chronic Tendon Pain Treatment That Doesn't Last?

If you searched for shockwave therapy near me because rest, ice, and injections failed, your tendon has degenerative scar tissue. ESWT shockwave therapy creates microtrauma that forces blood flow and stem cells into the area. That is how shockwave therapy for plantar fasciitis and shockwave therapy for tennis elbow actually heal the tissue.

A chiropractor with shockwave resets the joint first, then uses ESWT to remodel the tendon. Chronic tendon pain treatment near me needs more than masking symptoms.

The process

What to Expect from Shockwave Therapy at HCRC

01

Confirm the Tissue

Ultrasound or X-ray to rule out tear or fracture. We palpate and map the exact zone. Shockwave therapy for plantar fasciitis targets the heel spur zone. Achilles tendonitis shockwave treatment targets the thickened mid-portion.

02

ESWT Shockwave Therapy

Gel applied. The handpiece delivers 2000 to 3000 pulses. Is shockwave therapy painful? You feel strong tapping. Most rate it 4 out of 10. We adjust energy to tolerance. Takes 5 to 8 minutes per area.

03

Load the Tendon

Shockwave starts healing. Eccentric loading finishes it. Your sports injury rehab chiropractor gives you specific reps to remodel collagen. We re-test grip strength or jump height every visit.

Conditions we treat

Shockwave Therapy Helps With

  • Plantar fasciitis and heel spurs
  • Achilles tendonitis
  • Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow
  • Shoulder impingement
  • Rotator cuff calcific tendonitis
  • Patellar tendonitis (jumper's knee)
  • Hip bursitis and gluteal tendinopathy

Not sure if it fits? ESWT shockwave therapy works best on chronic cases over 6 weeks old. If you have an acute tear, we refer first.

The difference

Why Hillsboro Chooses HCRC for Shockwave Therapy

01

Focused ESWT, Not Radial

We use focused ESWT shockwave therapy that penetrates 4 to 6 cm deep. Cheap radial units only hit 1 cm. For Achilles tendonitis shockwave treatment and shoulder impingement shockwave therapy, depth matters.

02

Chiro + Shockwave + Rehab Protocol

Adjustment restores joint motion. Shockwave therapy breaks scar tissue. Eccentric exercise rebuilds tendons. A chiropractor with shockwave gets better results than standalone ESWT.

03

Evidence-Based Dosing

How many shockwave sessions for plantar fasciitis? Research says 3 to 5 sessions, 1 week apart. We follow published protocols for energy and pulse count. No guessing.

04

Transparent Pricing

Shockwave therapy vs. cortisone injection costs less long-term. Cortisone weakens tissue. ESWT strengthens it. Cash rate: $55 per region. Package of 5: $300. HSA/FSA accepted.

Answers

Shockwave Therapy FAQs

Is shockwave therapy painful?
Most patients feel strong tapping or pressure rated 3 to 5 out of 10. We start low and ramp up. Soreness for 24 to 48 hours is normal. Numbing cream is not used because patient feedback guides energy level.
How many shockwave therapy sessions are needed for plantar fasciitis?
Typically 3 to 5 sessions spaced 7 to 10 days apart. Chronic cases may need 6. Plantar fasciitis treatment in Hillsboro at HCRC includes a home loading plan so results hold.
What conditions does shockwave therapy treat?
ESWT shockwave therapy treats chronic tendon and fascia issues: plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis shockwave treatment, shockwave therapy for tennis elbow, shoulder impingement shockwave therapy, patellar tendonitis, and calcific rotator cuff. It also breaks scar tissue.
How long does shockwave therapy take to work?
Pain relief can start after session 1. True tissue remodeling takes 6 to 12 weeks. We measure change at visit 3. Achilles tendonitis shockwave treatment and plantar fasciitis cases show 60 percent improvement by week 4.
Can shockwave therapy make an injury worse?
Rarely, if used on acute tears, stress fractures, or active infection. We screen with X-ray or ultrasound first. Temporary soreness is expected. ESWT shockwave therapy does not weaken tissue like cortisone. That is the shockwave therapy vs cortisone injection difference.
Who is not a good candidate for shockwave therapy?
Blood thinners, pregnancy, a pacemaker, active cancer over the area, or infection. We review history on day one. A sports injury rehab chiropractor clears you before ESWT. Most people qualify.
How soon can I exercise after shockwave therapy?
Light walking the same day. Avoid heavy loading for 48 hours. Then start prescribed eccentric exercise. Your ESWT chiropractor in Hillsboro gives you exact return-to-sport rules. Running resumes week 2 to 3 for most.
