An Effective Drug-Free Solution For Fast Pain Relief
Conventional treatments like RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevate), NSAIDS and cortisone suppress symptoms and work against your body's healing processes. It can feel like you’re on a never-ending hamster wheel of pain, temporary relief, pain. All the while, your out-of-pocket costs add up trying to get help and you’re refraining from doing what you love. There’s a better way.
Focused shockwave uses innovative technology that's been proven to work with your body's healing processes and treat the cause of your pain, not just your symptoms.

WHAT IS SHOCKWAVE THERAPY?
Extracorporeal shockwaves have been used successfully to treat chronic pain syndromes since the beginning of the 1990s. FCT has significantly expanded the range of applications available to treat myofascial pain syndromes.
FOCUSED SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
FOR ACUTE AND CHRONIC PAIN
Why Focused Shockwave Therapy Is Unique
Other devices used to treat musculoskeletal conditions do not utilize sound waves to create the compression. Instead, they rely on a percussive application to the outer layer of soft tissue with the hope that the resulting pressure will translate through the tissue to the targeted injury.
FSW sends an array of sound waves effortlessly and without sensation through the soft tissue to the desired, controlled depth and at that point the sound focuses to create the compression This results in a more controlled and effective delivery of energy along with a greater patient compliance to the therapy.
The two methods of delivery could not be more different and according to clinicians who have used both devices, so are the clinical outcomes.
HOW FOCUSED SHOCKWAVE THERAPY WORKS
Focused Shockwave Therapy is widely used in the treatment of acute and chronic pain in muscles tendons and joints. It produces focused acoustic pressure waves (sound) to target, compress and manipulate tissue at varying depths resulting in a precise deep tissue massage. The mechanical stimulus delivered by FSW can lead to stem cell recruitment, increased circulation, angiogenesis, increased range of motion and pain relief through modulation of substance P, which are key components in the healing process. FSW is currently noted as the fastest growing rehab modality in professional sports.

“I have been seeing Dr Anderson for almost 10 years. He is not your average chiropractor, he has very unique and effective techniques and tools. He has helped me with old injuries and the new
ones….. he is the best.”
Erik helped so much after I had my baby. I was in a lot of pain and he was able to provide stretches as well as adjustments that made such a difference.
