Stemwave therapy, a form of focused shockwave therapy, is a vital component of our conservative joint care program at Levante Chiropractic. Stemwave therapy for joint pain and muscle injury supports our structural balancing, spinal alignment and inflammation reduction protocols that can both help painful joints heal, as well as prevent problems in the future. Some of the most exciting research […]
When heel pain keeps limiting your day, you want to know whether another treatment can make a meaningful difference. A major study found that focused shockwave therapy reduced pain and improved function in people with stubborn plantar fasciitis. The benefits were assessed three months after treatment ended—an encouraging finding for patients whose symptoms have persisted despite previous care. Key Points […]
A landmark randomized controlled trial on focused shockwave therapy was published in 2003 in JAMA, one of the highest impact journals in the medical field. The improvements for shoulder calcific tendinopathy in this study include: Reduction in pain levels Improved function using the Constant-Murley Score (A 100-point scale used to measure overall shoulder function and track recovery after an injury […]
Focused shockwave therapy has become an increasingly well-researched treatment for many musculoskeletal conditions, including chronic tendon injuries, plantar fasciitis, calcific shoulder tendinitis, and certain causes of persistent joint pain. Unlike injections or surgery, shockwave therapy works by delivering precisely controlled acoustic energy (sound waves) that stimulates the body’s own repair mechanisms. If you’re considering shockwave therapy for joint pain, here’s […]
