Cleveland Shockwave Therapy Patient FAQs
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate the body's natural healing response, improve circulation, and help reduce pain in injured or irritated tissue.
How does Shockwave Therapy work?
Shockwave Therapy delivers acoustic waves directly to the targeted area. These waves can help increase circulation, stimulate the body's natural repair processes, and encourage healing in damaged or irritated tissue. The goal is to address the source of the problem rather than simply mask the pain.
What conditions can Shockwave Therapy help?
Plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, Achilles tendon pain, rotator cuff injuries, arthritis, carpal tunnel, neuropathy, sciatica, and chronic tendonitis are among the most common.
How many sessions are usually needed?
The number of treatments varies depending on the condition, how long it has been present, and how your body responds. Many treatment plans involve several sessions, and improvement may continue in the weeks following treatment as the body's natural healing process continues.
Will Shockwave Therapy hurt?
Most people describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable, like quick pulses against the skin. Treatment intensity can be adjusted to your comfort level.
How soon will I feel better?
Some patients feel pain relief after the first session, while others improve steadily over several weeks.
What makes Shockwave Therapy different from chiropractic care?
Chiropractic adjustments restore alignment and improve nervous system function. Shockwave Therapy specifically targets chronic soft tissue and joint pain.
Can Shockwave Therapy replace surgery or injections?
For many patients, yes. Instead of covering up symptoms with medication or taking on the risks of surgery, Shockwave encourages natural repair at the source of your pain.
Who is a good candidate for Shockwave Therapy?
Anyone dealing with chronic pain that hasn’t improved with rest or other therapies may be a candidate. Dr. Petro can evaluate your case and let you know if Shockwave is right for you.
Can I do Shockwave Therapy and chiropractic adjustments at the same time?
Yes. Many patients benefit from combining both. Chiropractic care helps correct alignment, while Shockwave promotes tissue healing.
What makes Dr. Mark Petro’s clinic unique for Shockwave Therapy in Cleveland?
Patients already know Dr. Petro for his gentle TRT chiropractic adjustments and personalized care. Shockwave Therapy expands the treatment options available for patients in Fairview Park and across Cleveland.
