About Shockwave Therapy At Capitol Rehab Of Arlington

Shockwave therapy uses targeted acoustic waves to activate your body’s natural healing response. It helps reduce chronic pain, accelerate tissue repair, and restore function without surgery or downtime. It’s an option for soft tissue injuries, musculoskeletal conditions, and pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments.

What is shockwave therapy and how does it work?

Shockwave therapy uses targeted acoustic waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing response. The waves increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and support tissue regeneration, helping relieve chronic pain and speed up recovery without surgery or medication.

Is shockwave therapy painful?

You may feel pressure or mild discomfort during the session, but most patients tolerate it well. Any soreness afterward is usually mild and short-lived. Our team will guide you through every step.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on your condition. After your evaluation, we’ll give you a clear, personalized plan and timeline instead of a vague guess.

What conditions can shockwave therapy treat?

Shockwave therapy is commonly used for tendon pain, plantar fasciitis, muscle tightness, scar tissue, and soft tissue injuries. It can also support recovery from sports and everyday injuries. We’ll evaluate whether it’s the right option for you.

Can shockwave be combined with my other treatments?

Yes. Because our chiropractors, physical therapists, and massage therapists work under one roof, shockwave can be part of a broader plan that includes chiropractic care, physical therapy, or spinal decompression.

How long do the results last?

Because shockwave therapy supports tissue healing instead of just masking pain, many patients see long-lasting results. Results vary from person to person, and addressing what caused the problem, like posture, movement habits, or muscle imbalances, helps them last. Our physical therapy team can help with that part.
