Shockwave Therapy
Move Better with Advanced Shockwave Therapy
Persistent muscle, tendon, or joint discomfort can make it difficult to work, exercise, and enjoy the activities you love.
At Outlook Chiropractic & Wellness, we offer radial shockwave therapy to help support the body’s natural recovery process and address stubborn areas of discomfort.
Our Grand Rapids office uses the Mark III Radial Shockwave System, allowing us to deliver focused, customized treatment based on your condition, comfort, and recovery goals.
What Is Radial Shockwave Therapy?
Radial shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that delivers controlled mechanical pressure waves into targeted tissues using a handheld applicator.
These waves are designed to stimulate activity within the treated area, influence pain signals, and support the body’s natural healing response.
The treatment does not involve surgery, injections, or electrical shocks. Most sessions are completed conveniently in our office.
Conditions Shockwave Therapy May Help
Shockwave therapy may be included in a personalized care plan for conditions such as:
Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
Achilles tendon discomfort
Tennis or golfer’s elbow
Shoulder and rotator cuff discomfort
Knee and patellar tendon pain
Muscle tightness and trigger points
Overuse and sports-related injuries
Persistent tendon and soft-tissue discomfort
Every patient is different. We will evaluate your condition to determine whether shockwave therapy is an appropriate option for you.
The Mark III Radial Shockwave System
Outlook Chiropractic & Wellness uses the Mark III Radial Shockwave System from Shockwave Centers of America.
Its adjustable treatment settings and specialized applicator tips allow us to target different areas of the body while adapting the intensity to your comfort and treatment needs.
This technology can be used alongside chiropractic care, mobility work, and other recommendations as part of a broader recovery plan.
Why Patients Choose Shockwave Therapy
Patients often appreciate shockwave therapy because it offers:
A non-invasive treatment approach
No needles or incisions
Targeted treatment of the problem area
Short, convenient office visits
Adjustable intensity based on comfort
Minimal interruption to daily activities
A personalized alternative when discomfort has persisted
Results vary, and more than one session may be recommended depending on your condition and response to treatment.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your visit begins with an evaluation of your symptoms, health history, movement, and treatment goals.
If shockwave therapy is appropriate, gel is applied to the treatment area and a handheld applicator delivers controlled pressure waves into the targeted tissue. You may feel a tapping or pulsing sensation during treatment.
The intensity can be adjusted throughout the session. Some temporary tenderness, redness, or soreness may occur afterward.
