Shockwave Therapy
Advanced tissue repair. Faster recovery. Real results.
At Prater Chiropractic, we use cutting-edge shockwave therapy to accelerate healing, reduce pain, and restore mobility—especially in athletes and active adults. Whether you’re recovering from injury or pushing your performance, shockwave gets results where other treatments fall short.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment for soft tissue, bone, heel, and joint pain. Shockwave therapy uses focused acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing response at the cellular level. This non-invasive treatment breaks down scar tissue, boosts blood flow, and triggers regeneration in tendons, muscles, and fascia.
Shockwave Therapy for Athletes
When it comes to treating athletes, the ability to perform at a high level matters. That’s why there is a particular urgency to address musculoskeletal injury or dysfunction to get them back to their sport of choice as soon as possible. For athletes who suffer common overuse injuries, this non-invasive treatment offers an alternative to injections and/or surgical intervention. Shockwave therapy is an exceptional treatment option that offers athletes a safe means for an expedited return to competition, requiring minimal to no downtime. Also, noteworthy, many can maintain their training regimens throughout the treatment period.
At Prater Chiropractic, we combine shockwave therapy with clinical soft tissue treatment, movement-based rehab, and a sports-performance approach. You don’t just get therapy—you get a recovery strategy built around your goals.
