Episode 67 - What is Shockwave Therapy?

Form, Function and Flow Lab with Dr. Kate

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about what is shockwave therapy. I am considering putting it in my office for my patients to use because it is a type of therapy that works really well with musculoskeletal issues, specifically chronic-related matters like adhesions and scar tissues.

I see these issues all the time in the office because I don’t just do adjusting as a chiropractor. I’ve done different myofascial work in the office with my patients and I do get great results with my hands and my tools. However, there are still some issues where it will be more helpful to get extra help from shockwave therapy.
