Have you been reconsidering the therapies you offer in your practice? Are you looking for something new but effective that can help your patients?

Shockwave therapy is a newer practice that has proven to help patients with pain management. Utilizing this therapy can enhance your own practice and provide many benefits for you and your patients. 

If you’re unsure what this entails or how to get involved, read on.

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy delivers high and low-frequency acoustic sound waves to pain areas. These waves will help reduce pain and promote the body to strengthen and heal. 

This shockwave therapy is used for many musculoskeletal conditions that induce chronic pain in the patient. 

This is a much better option than more intense procedures that help pain management. 

Patients won’t need to endure surgical procedures and long recovery periods. They won’t need to depend on painkillers for most of their lives either. 

Why Should I Use Shockwave Therapy in My Practice?

There are many benefits of using shockwave therapy for your patients. It could be a game-changing therapy for your practice and increase your number of patients with patient satisfaction.

Pain Management

The best benefit of this therapy is that it will manage chronic or acute pain. Shockwave therapy isn’t only for one type of pain either. It works for any amount of pain in any place you may be having it.

This makes it a suitable option for all of your patients who are suffering from chronic or acute pain. 

Shockwave therapy can treat ailments such as:

  • Body pain
  • Sports injury
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Scoliosis and other back conditions
  • Scar tissue 
  • Bone spurs
  • And more

This is only the beginning of the kinds of pain and injuries that shockwave therapy can treat. 

Affordable

You want your practice to be affordable for any person. Sometimes, other therapies or procedures can cost thousands of dollars. Even worse, sometimes they cost thousands of dollars only to find out it didn’t work. Or at least, not very effectively. 

You can charge for a session of shockwave treatment anywhere from $300-$500 on average, depending on the case. Each patient differs on how many sessions they will need. 

By making it more affordable for your patients, you can enhance the outlook of your practice. 

Less Time-Consuming

Depending on the case, the patient may only need a few sessions to manage the pain. This will decrease the number of visits it will take and also lessen the recovery time. 

Other procedures may require more recovery time from the pain or work of the procedure. This will mean the patient may be out of a job for several weeks, or out of commission from doing daily life tasks. 

With shockwave therapy, your patients can be on their feet in no time and not worry about a long recovery process. 

A Therapy For Anybody

Some therapies or procedures have a maximum age. Shockwave therapy, on the other hand, can be for anyone.

There are also limited side effects when it comes to shock therapy. Patients won’t have to worry about other conditions conflicting with the therapy. This makes it a safe alternative to other procedures or medications. 

Simple Process

The process of shockwave therapy is relatively simple. After first going through consultation sessions with your patient, you will then perform the therapy. 

The therapy involves finding the designated area of pain. After finding it, you apply gel to ensure the acoustic waves travel properly. Finally, you apply the shockwave applicator to the spot. 

This process only takes several minutes rather than an extended period of time. This will not only save you time but your patient time as well. 

Take Care of Yourself

Because of the simple process, it won’t wear and tear your own body when you are treating patients. While other treatments may involve the use of massaging and physical therapy, shockwave therapy won’t put as much stress on your body.

This means you can see more patients on a daily basis without getting tired out. On top of that, you may be able to have your practice open for longer and retire later. 

Proven Science

Shockwave therapy isn’t just a guessing game. There are proven studies that show patients have a reduction in pain from the treatment.  

This means you can be confident in the treatment you are giving patients. You will be able to show them the science and proof behind how it works. This will make you as a therapist or chiropractor much more credible.

If there was no proven science or studies behind a treatment or therapy, you could not use it for your practice. If you did and there were negative results, it could damage your look. 

With shockwave therapy, there will be no need to worry about this. You can be confident that you are using a therapy that has been scientifically proven.
