Shockwave Therapy El Cajon

What are the Benefits of Shockwave Therapy in El Cajon, CA?

• Heal chronic pain without surgery or medications. Shockwave therapy triggers your body’s own repair response, so you don’t have to depend on painkillers or injections.
• Treat stubborn tendon and soft-tissue injuries. This therapy reaches deep tissues that struggle to heal on their own, like tendons with a poor blood supply.
• Reduce inflammation and break down scar tissue. The acoustic waves stimulate blood flow and cell regeneration to speed up your recovery.
• Get back to your activities faster. It’s non-invasive with little to no downtime, so you can return to work or your sport quickly.

What is Shockwave Therapy at Caruso Family Chiropractic Clinic?

Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic pressure waves. Our chiropractor, Dr. Robert Caruso, delivers these waves through a handheld device placed over the injured area. There are no incisions and no medications involved.

The pressure waves work by creating micro-responses in the affected tissue. This restarts your body’s natural healing process, improves circulation, and encourages the repair of tendons, ligaments, and muscles that have been slow to recover. It’s especially helpful for long-standing injuries that haven’t responded to rest or other treatments.

What Conditions Can Shockwave Therapy Treat?

Shockwave therapy is most effective for chronic soft-tissue and tendon-related pain. After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Caruso may recommend it for the following:

• Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
• Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
• Shoulder pain and rotator cuff tendonitis
• Knee pain and jumper’s knee
• Achilles tendonitis and ankle pain
• Hip pain and bursitis
• Sports injuries
• Chronic tendonitis and painful trigger points

When these injuries are treated at the source, you recover faster and lower your chances of the pain returning.

What to Expect During Your Shockwave Therapy Session?

Your treatment always begins with a thorough assessment. Dr. Caruso will review your injury history, examine the affected area, and check your movement to confirm shockwave therapy is right for you. During the session, he applies the handheld device to the injured area for several minutes. You may feel a tapping or pulsing sensation, but the treatment is well tolerated and requires no downtime.

Most patients need a short series of sessions for the best results. Shockwave therapy also works well alongside other treatments in your plan, such as:

• Chiropractic adjustments
• Cold laser therapy
• Massage therapy
• Therapeutic exercise
