What is PulseWave Therapy?

PulseWave uses focused acoustic waves — often called shock wave therapy — delivered through a handheld applicator to muscles, tendons, and joints. The gentle pulses are intended to stimulate local circulation and support your body’s own healing response in the treated area.

Unlike medications that mask symptoms or surgery that requires recovery time, PulseWave is completely non-invasive. Sessions are quick, there is no downtime, and it pairs naturally with the chiropractic and physical medicine care we already provide. Your first consultation is free — we’ll evaluate your condition and tell you honestly whether PulseWave makes sense for you.

Three simple steps to get started

1

Free Consultation

Your doctor evaluates your condition, reviews your history, and determines whether PulseWave therapy is an appropriate option for you. The consultation itself costs nothing.

3

Recovery & Progress

Between sessions you go about your normal life — no downtime. We track your progress and adjust your plan as your body responds.

What Our Patients Say

I’m not saying chiropractors are magical, but I am saying Dr. Curran fixed my lower back pain that I’ve had for over 15 years — and that’s kind of the same thing. He even resolved my plantar fasciitis that a podiatrist couldn’t crack.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about PulseWave therapy

PulseWave is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused acoustic (shock) waves applied to muscles, tendons, and joints. The energy is intended to stimulate local circulation and support the body's natural healing response — without surgery, injections, or medication.
A handheld applicator delivers gentle acoustic pulses to the treatment area. The pulses create a controlled stimulus in the tissue, which is intended to encourage blood flow and the body's own repair processes. Your provider adjusts the intensity and targets the specific area that needs attention.
Patients most often seek shock wave therapy for stubborn soft-tissue complaints such as plantar fasciitis, tennis or golfer's elbow, shoulder and knee discomfort, and chronic muscle or tendon issues. During your free consultation, we'll evaluate your condition and tell you honestly whether PulseWave is a fit.
Treatment plans vary by person and condition. Many plans involve a short series of weekly sessions. After your evaluation, your doctor will recommend a personalized plan and explain what to expect along the way.
Your consultation is completely free — that's the visit where we evaluate your condition and tell you honestly whether PulseWave is a fit.

Most patients describe a tapping or pulsing sensation. Areas that are already tender may feel briefly sensitive during treatment, and intensity can always be adjusted for comfort. Sessions are short, and you can return to normal activities right away.
Shock wave therapy is generally well tolerated. Some patients notice mild, temporary redness, soreness, or warmth in the treated area. There is no downtime. During your consultation we review your health history to confirm the treatment is appropriate for you.
