Shockwave Therapy in Rhode Island

Shockwave Therapy is an advanced treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged or inflamed tissues. At DeCrescenzo Chiropractic, we offer Shockwave Therapy as an effective, non-invasive solution for patients experiencing chronic pain, tendon injuries, or soft tissue inflammation. This therapy promotes blood flow, reduces inflammation, and accelerates tissue repair by delivering targeted shockwaves to the affected area.

Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy is effective for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

  • Tendonitis: Reduces pain and inflammation in tendons, commonly in areas like the shoulder or elbow.
  • Plantar Fasciitis: Alleviates pain and promotes healing in the plantar fascia, a common issue in the heel.
  • Chronic Muscle Pain: Helps relieve chronic pain and tightness in muscles by promoting relaxation and healing.
  • Calcific Tendonitis: Breaks down calcifications in tendons, particularly in the shoulder, to restore mobility and reduce pain.
  • Shin Splints: Reduces inflammation and accelerates healing for pain along the shinbone.

How Shockwave Therapy Works

Shockwave Therapy uses a handheld device to deliver high-energy acoustic waves to the targeted area. These sound waves penetrate deep into the tissues, stimulating blood flow and accelerating the healing process. The energy from the shockwaves helps break down scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and improve cellular repair, relieving acute and chronic pain.

 Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy offers multiple benefits for patients looking to relieve pain and improve function, including:

  • Accelerated Healing: Promotes tissue repair by increasing blood flow and stimulating cellular regeneration.
  • Non-Invasive Treatment Option: Provides a safe and effective alternative to surgical procedures.
  • Pain Relief: Reduces pain by addressing inflammation and breaking down scar tissue.
  • Improved Mobility: Helps restore normal movement and flexibility by reducing pain and soft tissue restrictions.

What to Expect During Shockwave Therapy

During a Shockwave Therapy session, our chiropractor will apply a conductive gel to the treatment area and position the shockwave device over the targeted tissue. The device delivers energy pulses, which may feel like a tapping sensation. Most sessions last around 5-10 minutes, and multiple sessions may be recommended for the best results.

I have been going to DeCrescenzo Chiropractic for many years now. I come in mostly incapacitated and after a few sessions leave with full mobility. I’m always seen in less than 24 hours and the Doctors and support staff are always friendly and caring. It is truly like family.
Thank you, De Crescenzo Chiropractic, for your excellent service and care. I truly appreciate your professionalism, kindness, and dedication.
Everyone in the office is so kind and empathetic.
Very nice and friendly staff
I was struck by a car while riding a motorcycle. I had never been treated by a chiropractor and was referred. At this time in my life I was in extreme pain and could not sleep. I was treated with the utmost compassion and was shown great dignity to my situation. EACH OF THE STAFF from the front door all the way through to the Doctor conducted themselves at a high level of service. At my time of need they gave me peace of mind through a very uncertain time. I CANT THANK THESE STAFF ENOUGH. At each step of the process they continued this approach and im am Very Grateful FOR THE RESULT. Sincerely Jeremy E. Depault
