Shockwave Therapy in Reno NV

Atlas Chiropractic & Rehabilitation uses Shockwave Therapy in Reno NV as a part of a whole-patient approach to improving patient health and well-being. Officially called low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT), the procedure is more commonly known as shockwave therapy.

Shockwave therapy accelerates tissue healing by increasing blood flow, breaking down chronic scar tissue, and stimulating cellular regeneration. It’s especially effective for tendinopathies, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, chronic shoulder issues, and stubborn soft-tissue injuries that haven’t responded to traditional care.

I use it when a patient needs aggressive, biologically driven repair to get past a long-standing limitation so they can return to sport, work, and daily life without pain or restriction.

The energy waves stimulate the body's natural healing mechanisms through microtrauma to the area. It triggers your own regenerative cells to come to the area and heal the tissue. It enhances vascularization and nerve regeneration as well.

How Is Therapy Done?

Your Reno NV therapist will discuss your symptoms with you and locate the source of pain. They will then mark the area intended for the Shockwave Therapy. A gel is applied to optimize the contact between the application device and your skin. The handpiece delivers pulsations to the pain area for a number of prescribed pulses, depending on the condition.
