Shockwave Therapy
Cutting-Edge Tissue Regeneration
Shockwave Therapy at Alternative Chiropractic in Johnstown, PA
What is shockwave therapy?
Focused shockwave therapy is a cutting-edge, non-invasive tissue regenerative therapy that delivers a high-energy acoustic wave to injured or painful areas.

HOW IT WORKS
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY FAQS
Is it painful?
Most patients feel a mild tapping sensation—comfortable and tolerable. Some report mild discomfort with quick recovery.
How long until I see results?
91% of people report pain relief after just one session of shockwave therapy! We recommend a plan with enough visits to get you out of pain and correct the problem.
Most patients see noticeable improvement in 2-3 sessions and on average most patients have lasting pain relief in 4-8 sessions total. Full healing continues for weeks after the last session as the body continues to regenerate new tissue. Each session lasts approximately 10-15 minutes and we recommend one session per week.
Is it experimental?
Shockwave Therapy is backed by decades of clinical research in treating shoulder pain, tendinopathy, and calcific disease.
It’s often used in orthopedics & sports medicine worldwide, and has been used for several years by professional athletes. It is also FDA approved for the treatment of plantar fasciitis.
Is it only for athletes?
No! Focused Shockwave Therapy is beneficial for anyone with chronic pain or injuries.
Do you take my insurance?
Focused Shockwave Therapy is considered above the standard of care for the insurance industry and is therefore not covered.
How much will it cost?
We offer an introductory special of $49 to try shockwave for the first time. We also offer discounted bundle packages.
Do you work with children?
We prefer to treat adults 18+ with shockwave. It can be used safely on children but should not be used over growth plates as it can trigger the growth plate to close. The exception to this is for the treatment of Osgood-Schlagger’s disease.
