Shockwave Therapy Tigard, OR
A Holistic Approach With Dramatic Results
At Health Touch Chiropractic, Dr. Josh Pettigrew offers advanced Shockwave Therapy in Tigard, OR, to help patients heal faster, move better, and live with less pain. This cutting-edge treatment uses low-energy acoustic wave technology to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility.
If you are struggling with chronic pain, tendon injuries, or stubborn soft-tissue conditions that haven’t responded to traditional treatments, shockwave therapy may be the breakthrough you’ve been looking for.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment designed to accelerate healing and reduce pain in injured tissues.
Using targeted acoustic wave pulsations delivered through the skin, this therapy stimulates cellular repair and regeneration in muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other connective tissues.
The result is:
-
Reduced pain
-
Decreased swelling
-
Improved circulation
-
Increased range of motion
-
Faster recovery
This FDA-approved technology is becoming one of the most trusted solutions for patients seeking a natural, drug-free approach to healing.
How Shockwave Therapy Works
Shockwave therapy uses a specialized handpiece that delivers mechanical pressure waves directly to the injured or painful area. These acoustic waves:
-
Break down scar tissue and adhesions
-
Increase blood flow and circulation
-
Improve cellular metabolism
-
Stimulate fibroblasts (connective tissue repair cells)
-
Activate osteoblasts (bone-healing cells)
-
Enhance overall tissue regeneration
This hyperstimulation effect helps “restart” the body’s healing response in areas where healing has slowed or stalled.
Treatments are performed right here in our Tigard office and typically allow patients to return to work, activity, and exercise immediately.
