Is Shockwave Therapy Safe? What Patients in Phoenix & Anthem Need to Know

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy (often called acoustic wave therapy) uses gentle acoustic waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing process. The device delivers targeted energy to injured or painful areas, which helps:

• Increase blood flow
• Stimulate cell regeneration
• Break down scar tissue and calcifications
• Reduce inflammation
• Speed up healing

At our clinic, we use Stemwave therapy — a cutting-edge form of shockwave therapy designed to maximize results while keeping treatments safe, comfortable, and effective.



Unlike surgery or injections, there’s no downtime, no anesthesia, and no medication dependency. Most patients walk out of our clinic and continue with their daily activities right away.

Is Shockwave Therapy Safe?

This is the #1 concern for new patients. The good news is: yes, shockwave therapy is safe.

Here’s why:

1. Non-invasive approach – No needles, no incisions, no drugs.
2. FDA-cleared technology – The Stemwave device we use has been rigorously tested and approved for safety.
3. Backed by clinical research – Studies show that shockwave therapy is a safe and effective treatment for conditions like tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and more.
4. Customizable treatment – We adjust the intensity and frequency based on your condition and comfort.
5. Experienced professionals – At MyChiropractor Health & Wellness, our licensed doctors are trained to deliver this therapy safely and effectively.

In short, the risks are minimal — especially compared to invasive surgeries or long-term use of painkillers.

Who Can Benefit from Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy is safe for a wide range of people, but it’s especially helpful for those who:

• Have chronic pain that hasn’t improved with traditional treatments
• Struggle with sports injuries
• Deal with stubborn tendon or ligament problems
• Suffer from plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, or tennis elbow
• Want a non-surgical, drug-free option for pain relief



Real-world example: We had a patient in Phoenix who suffered from chronic shoulder tendonitis for years. Physical therapy and medications only brought temporary relief. After a few sessions of Stemwave therapy, she experienced significant improvement — not only in pain levels but also in her ability to move her arm freely again.
