Shockwave Therapy in Apex, NC

Advanced Focused & Radial Shockwave Therapy at Performance Family Chiropractic

If you are dealing with chronic pain, stubborn injuries, tendon problems, or slow recovery, shockwave therapy may help accelerate healing naturally — without injections, medications, or surgery.

​

At Performance Family Chiropractic in Apex, we provide both focused shockwave therapy and radial shockwave therapy, allowing us to customize treatment based on the depth, severity, and location of your injury. Many clinics only offer one type of shockwave, but having both technologies available gives us the ability to better treat a wider variety of conditions.

​

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. These sound waves help improve circulation, stimulate tissue repair, reduce pain, and promote recovery in damaged muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints.

Shockwave therapy is commonly used for:

• Chronic tendon injuries

• Plantar fasciitis

• Tennis elbow

• Shoulder pain

• Achilles tendon pain

• Knee pain

• Hip pain

• Muscle tightness and trigger points

• Calcific tendinitis

• Sports injuries

• Scar tissue and chronic inflammation

​

Treatments are fast, require little to no downtime, and are designed to help patients return to normal activity as quickly as possible.

​

Focused vs. Radial Shockwave Therapy

Focused Shockwave Therapy

Focused shockwave therapy delivers energy to a precise depth within the body. Because the energy is concentrated rather than dispersed, it can target deeper tissues more effectively.

Focused shockwave is often ideal for:

• Deep tendon injuries

• Chronic joint pain

• Hip pain

• Achilles tendon issues

• Calcific tendinitis

• Long-standing injuries that have not responded to other treatments

​

The focused energy allows treatment to reach structures deeper beneath the surface while minimizing unnecessary irritation to surrounding tissue.

​

Radial Shockwave Therapy

Radial shockwave disperses energy outward over a broader treatment area and is commonly used for more superficial or larger muscular conditions.

Radial shockwave is often helpful for:

• Muscle tightness

• Trigger points

• Surface-level tendon irritation

• General soft tissue treatment

• Improving circulation and mobility

By combining both technologies, we can tailor treatment specifically to your condition instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Why Patients Choose Shockwave Therapy

Patients in Apex choose shockwave therapy because it is:

• Non-invasive

• Drug-free

• Fast and convenient

• Designed to stimulate natural healing

• Helpful for chronic injuries

• Often effective when other treatments have failed

• Able to target both superficial and deep tissues

Many patients notice improvement in pain, mobility, and function within just a few visits.

​

What to Expect During Treatment

Shockwave therapy appointments are typically quick and straightforward. During treatment, a handheld applicator delivers acoustic waves to the injured area. Most treatments take approximately 10–15 minutes depending on the condition being treated.

Some mild soreness after treatment can be normal, similar to how tissues may feel after exercise or deep tissue work. Most patients are able to continue normal daily activities immediately afterward.

Treatment recommendations vary depending on the severity and duration of the condition.

​
