Radial Shockwave Therapy in St. Louis, MO
A Game-Changer for Stubborn, Chronic Pain
Some injuries just won't quit — chronic tendon pain, old soft-tissue injuries, nagging inflammation that adjustments alone don't fully resolve. That's exactly where Radial Shockwave Therapy shines. It's one of the tools that sets Gateway Chiropractic apart from most offices in St. Louis, MO.
How It Works
Shockwave therapy delivers targeted acoustic pressure waves into injured tissue. That stimulates blood flow, calms inflammation, and jumpstarts your body's own healing response in areas that have been stuck for weeks, months, or longer. It's non-invasive, drug-free, and done right here in the office. Most patients start to see noticeable results within their first few treatments.
What It Helps
Chronic tendon and soft-tissue pain
Stubborn inflammation that hasn't responded to other care
Recovery from sports and overuse injuries
Pain tied to disc issues and chronic back pain, when used alongside adjustments and decompression
Most patients describe it as a "productive" sensation — you'll feel it working. Because we know our patients well, we'll communicate with you throughout to keep you comfortable and dialed in.
