Shockwave Therapy in Sturgis
If you have nagging heel pain, tennis elbow, or a stubborn shoulder issue that just won’t clear up, you might feel like you’ve tried everything. At Key City Chiropractic & Acupuncture, our team offers shockwave therapy for tougher, chronic problems that haven’t responded to typical care. This noninvasive service is especially helpful for active adults, ranchers, and weekend warriors who need to stay on their feet. Dr. Al Gunderson and Dr. Jerrid Goebel use an evidence-informed approach to decide when shockwave is the right next step for you.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy uses focused sound waves delivered through a handheld device to the injured area. These acoustic waves help increase blood flow, break up stubborn tissue changes, and stimulate your body’s natural healing response. Sessions are quick, with no injections or medications involved. Most patients are in and out in just a few minutes for the shockwave portion of the visit.
Conditions Shockwave Therapy Can Help
Shockwave therapy is designed for subacute and chronic problems that haven’t responded well to rest, stretching, or standard conservative care. Our doctors often combine shockwave with chiropractic care, soft tissue therapy, and targeted rehab exercises to support longer-lasting results. It is commonly used for:
- Plantar fasciitis and chronic heel pain
- Tennis elbow and other elbow tendinopathies
- Shoulder tendinopathies and impingement-type pain
- Stubborn trigger points in muscles
Comfortable, Patient-Centered Care
Cost, Candidacy, and Getting Started
Shockwave therapy is typically not covered by insurance, so it is usually a cash-based option in our office. We will be upfront about costs and whether shockwave is likely to benefit your specific condition. At your visit, we start with an exam to confirm what is causing your pain and discuss if shockwave, laser, or another service is the best fit. Same-day and walk-in appointments are often available.
