In Plain Terms
Shockwave therapy sends focused acoustic waves into stubborn muscle and connective tissue to restart the healing process where it has stalled. No needles, no downtime, just a series of short in-office sessions.
It is a tool for soft tissue that will not settle. We reach for it when the exam points to chronic tendon, muscle, or joint problems that need a different stimulus than adjustment alone, patterns like plantar fasciitis, tendon pain, or a calcific shoulder.
The Method
What your first visit looks like
Three steps, in order. Nothing is treated before it is understood.
Findings in plain words
You see what we found and what shockwave would involve before anything starts. No pressure, no jargon.
Your correction plan
A planned series of sessions with re-checks, so progress is measured against your baseline, not guessed.
Who Shockwave Helps
Where shockwave earns its place
When your exam points to soft tissue that rest has not fixed, these are the patterns shockwave is built for:
Shockwave targets soft tissue, so it rarely works alone.Structural misalignment is handled by corrective chiropractic, and disc-related nerve pressure may add spinal decompression. One exam, one coordinated plan.
Why MaxLiving Wixom · Soft-Tissue Care
Shockwave is one part of a coordinated plan, not a standalone fix.
At MaxLiving Wixom, shockwave is part of a whole-body approach built on the MaxLiving 5 Essentials. The exam decides when your plan uses shockwave for soft tissue and corrective chiropractic for structure, and when disc-related pressure calls for spinal decompression too.
Shockwave Questions
Answered, honestly.
Does shockwave hurt?
You may feel strong pulses during treatment. Sessions are short, and there is no downtime afterward for most people.
How many sessions?
Plans vary. We set expectations after we see how your tissue responds and what the rest of your structural plan needs.
Is it the same as ultrasound?
No. Shockwave uses focused acoustic waves aimed at stubborn soft tissue, not the same energy profile as therapeutic ultrasound.
Can I combine it with adjustments?
Yes, when the exam supports both. Shockwave addresses soft tissue while corrective care addresses structure.
What does a shockwave visit look like?
Shockwave runs as short, scheduled in-office sessions at our Wixom office. Visits are by appointment, so treatment stays focused and unhurried. We position the applicator over the tissue your exam identified, deliver the acoustic wave treatment, and you go on with your day. Progress is re-checked as part of your overall structural plan, so you know whether the tissue is responding.
