Shockwave Therapy in La Crosse
We are excited to highlight our newest modality that we now offer at M.Y. Life Health Center, Shockwave Therapy! Shockwave therapy is a groundbreaking treatment designed to reduce pain, promote healing, and help you get back to doing what you love. Using acoustic waves, this therapy targets specific areas of the body, creating tiny cellular and molecular changes that kick-start your body’s natural healing process. It’s quick, effective, and has shown great results for a variety of conditions.
Who Can Benefit?
Shockwave therapy is ideal for anyone dealing with persistent pain or slow recovery. It’s especially effective for the following:
- Tendinopathies and tendinitis, where traditional treatments haven’t been enough.
- Plantar fasciitis, providing relief from heel and foot pain.
- Shoulder pain, including frozen shoulder and rotator cuff injuries.
- Lower back pain caused by disc problems.
- Athletes recovering from muscle strains, hamstring pulls, or rolled ankles.
This therapy is often recommended for patients who haven’t fully responded to other treatments, making it an ideal next step for those seeking relief.
What to Expect
During your visit, we’ll ensure that your experience is as seamless and pleasant as possible. Please wear comfortable, form-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area. This ensures the device can make direct contact with your skin for the most effective treatment. We also have gowns available.
If you’re new to the treatment, we’ll let you try a brief trial session to ease any nerves. This allows you to get accustomed to the sensation before you begin your session.
When you’re ready to start, we’ll give you an adjustment in the adjusting room to address any motion restrictions or muscle tension. You’ll then be brought into the therapy bay for the shockwave treatment.
The treatment itself takes just 5-10 minutes. Next, you’ll receive red light therapy, which helps increase blood flow and further aid the healing process.
Why Choose Shockwave Therapy?
This therapy offers many benefits, including breaking down calcifications, increasing blood flow to deliver vital nutrients, and significantly reducing pain. Many patients notice faster recovery times and improved mobility. Sessions are quick and highly effective, typically lasting around 15 minutes when combined with red light therapy.
