If you're dealing with a stubborn injury that hasn't responded to other treatment, or chronic pain that keeps coming back, shockwave therapy may be the missing piece. At Quantum Chiropractic's Harrisburg location, Dr. Noah Frey offers shockwave therapy as a targeted, non-invasive option for active adults and athletes who want to recover faster and get back to doing what they do.
Shockwave therapy is available exclusively at the Harrisburg location at 11 Poplar Street, Wormleysburg, PA 17043.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves delivered to targeted areas of the body. These waves stimulate circulation, break down scar tissue, and trigger the body's natural healing response in tissues that have become slow to recover. It is non-invasive, requires no downtime, and is particularly effective for injuries involving tendons, muscles, and connective tissue.
For active adults and athletes dealing with overuse injuries or persistent soft tissue problems, shockwave therapy can produce meaningful results when other approaches have fallen short.
What Shockwave Therapy Can Help With
Shockwave therapy is well suited for a range of conditions commonly seen in active adults and athletes, including:
-
Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
-
Patellar tendonitis and knee pain
-
Shoulder pain, rotator cuff issues, and frozen shoulder
-
Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow
-
Hip pain and hip flexor issues
-
Tendonitis in various locations
-
Trigger points and myofascial pain
-
Strains and sprains
-
Post-surgical recovery support
If you've been dealing with one of these issues for weeks or months without significant improvement, shockwave therapy is worth a conversation.
How It Works
Shockwave therapy works by delivering acoustic energy directly to the affected tissue. This does several things at once: it increases blood flow to areas that are often chronically under-perfused, breaks down calcifications and scar tissue that limit healing, and stimulates the body's repair mechanisms at the cellular level.
The result is accelerated tissue repair and a reduction in pain, often in a series of just a few sessions. Most treatments take only a few minutes per area and are performed right in the office without any preparation or recovery time required.
What to Expect
Treatment begins with a conversation about your injury, how long you've been dealing with it, and what you've already tried. Dr. Noah will assess the area and determine whether shockwave therapy is appropriate and how to best target treatment.
Sessions are brief and focused. Some patients experience mild discomfort during treatment, which is normal and typically short-lived. Most people notice improvement within a few sessions, though the number of treatments needed varies depending on the condition and how long it has been present.
Dr. Noah will reassess progress along the way and adjust the approach as your body responds.
Shockwave Therapy Fees
Single shockwave therapy sessions are $110. Packaged plans are available for savings on multi-session treatment courses. Ask Dr. Noah about package options during your visit.
Combined With Chiropractic Care
Shockwave therapy works well alongside chiropractic adjustments and other soft tissue work. For active adults dealing with injuries that involve both joint function and soft tissue damage, combining approaches often produces better outcomes than either treatment alone. Dr. Noah can build a plan that integrates shockwave therapy with your overall care at Quantum Chiropractic.
