If you’re tired of living with chronic or intense pain that is interfering with your life, Dr. Brian Reimer at American Med Care Center in West Palm Beach, FL, offers shockwave therapy along with other highly effective chiropractic techniques to bring you the relief you seek.
Guide to Shockwave Therapy
There are many chiropractic techniques available to help relieve your pain and suffering. However, there are times when the pain is so deep that most techniques simply can’t reach the problem area. Fortunately, chiropractors like Dr. Reimer at American Med Care Center of West Palm Beach, FL, offer shockwave therapy to help in such situations. Learn more about this technique and how it can benefit you below.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Though the name might seem intimidating to some, this technique is very beneficial for treating soft tissues. Low-frequency but frequent shockwaves are sent into the body. These shockwaves penetrate the deep layers of tissues, causing microtrauma.
The body’s natural healing processes kick in, which improve circulation, form new blood vessels, regenerate tissue, break up scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. This technique is non-invasive, so you don’t need to worry about surgery and downtime.
Is It Painful?
One of the various questions asked about chiropractic techniques is whether they will hurt. You shouldn’t feel any pain. However, there might be some discomfort – much like a deep tissue massage. This is normal, as these shockwaves are penetrating and treating areas that may not have been reached in years. When there is a great deal of tension or scar tissue, the process of eliminating it can be a bit uncomfortable. However, it can also provide highly effective and lasting pain relief.
