At CleanSpine in Irvine, Dr. Tyler Bigenho, DC combines shockwave therapy with chiropractic care to naturally reduce inflammation and promote faster recovery. This advanced technology addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms.
What is shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a minimally invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to speed up the body’s natural healing process. It targets damaged tissue, muscles, and tendons to increase blood flow and cellular repair and provide long-term pain relief. This therapy is effective in treating:
- Chronic Pain: Plantar fasciitis, tennis and golfer’s elbow, osteoarthritis of spine, degenerative joint disease, degenerative disc disease, sports injuries, chronic knots, and many more.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: treats muscle tears, ligament damage, and scar tissue build-up.
- Muscle Recovery: overuse injuries or strain from work or exercise.
- Improved Mobility: supports better joint and muscle function for an active lifestyle.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
Shockwave therapy uses high-energy sound waves to help your body heal naturally. These waves are delivered through a hand-held device to work on the areas of pain, injury, or tightness.
Here’s what happens during treatment:
- Dr Tyler Bigenho applies an ultrasound gel on the area being treated. This helps the shockwaves move smoothly on the skin.
- He then uses a hand-held device that sends short pulses of energy on the targeted area being treated.
- These pulses help: Increase blood flow | Reduce Inflammation | Break-up scar tissue or calcium build-up | Trigger your body to repair itself faster
- The entire process is non-invasive, FDA cleared, and takes a few minutes per area. Most patients feel tenderness and discomfort during the session, but it’s tolerable and subsides quickly.
