Shockwave Therapy in Southampton
Offering a multidisciplinary approach to healthcare allows our team at St. James Chiropractic and Wellness Centre to help patients from various perspectives. While chiropractic care can be effective in restoring proper alignment and motion to the joints, soft tissue damage may need to be addressed in other ways.
We may recommend shockwave therapy for chronic issues, such as
How It Works
This therapy uses a machine that drives a piston to create a wave of energy. We place the handheld device on the affected area of your body, and the wave of energy is directed into the damaged connective tissues, stimulating the body’s own healing response. Each session lasts just 2-3 minutes, and many people experience a decrease in symptoms after a few visits, with maximum therapeutic benefit after 4-5 visits. Since this is an additional service, there is an additional fee. All costs will be discussed with you before providing care.
What to Expect
Our team is highly trained, with extensive experience, and tailors care to each patient’s unique needs and goals. They’ll talk with you about your health history and conduct a thorough examination, including chiropractic, orthopaedic and neurological assessments. For most adults, they will take digital X-rays (we don’t X-ray children or pregnant women.)
Based on these evaluations & imaging, your chiropractor will design a care plan to help you reach your health goals. This may include a variety of services, in addition to chiropractic. If your chiropractor believes shockwave will be beneficial, they’ll recommend this therapy.
