Shockwave Therapy for Injury Recovery | adjust.clinic Petaluma

Accelerating Healing When Injuries Refuse to Quit

Some injuries are stubborn.

Tendons, ligaments, and deep soft tissues often struggle to heal fully after trauma — leading to persistent paintightness, and limited mobility.

At adjust.clinic, we use Shockwave Therapy to break that cycle — helping your body regenerate damaged tissues naturally and speed up your recovery.


What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy (technically called Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy or ESWT) uses high-energy acoustic wavesto:

  • Stimulate cellular repair
  • Increase blood flow to damaged tissues
  • Break down scar tissue adhesions
  • Trigger the body’s natural healing response

The process is non-invasivedrug-free, and clinically proven to improve stubborn musculoskeletal injuries.


How Shockwave Therapy Works After an Accident

After injuries like whiplash, falls, or sports trauma:

  • Soft tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments) can develop adhesions
  • Chronic inflammation can limit true healing
  • Scar tissue forms improperly, restricting motion

Shockwave therapy can help by:

  • Breaking up unhealthy scar tissue
  • Promoting new, healthy collagen growth
  • Reducing inflammation and swelling
  • Restoring mobility and flexibility

Conditions Shockwave Therapy Can Help Treat

Shockwave therapy is highly effective for:

  • Whiplash-related soft tissue injuries
  • Chronic neck and back muscle pain
  • Rotator cuff and shoulder tendinopathy
  • Hip, knee, and ankle ligament strains
  • Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
  • Scar tissue buildup from old injuries

If you feel like “nothing else has worked,”

Shockwave therapy might be the breakthrough your body needs.


What to Expect During Treatment

  • Treatments are performed right in our office — no surgery, no injections.
  • Sessions usually last 10–15 minutes.
  • You may feel a tapping or pulsing sensation at the treatment site — generally very tolerable.
  • Most patients notice improvement within 3–6 sessions.
  • Healing continues for weeks after therapy ends as tissues rebuild.

Dr. Lloyd tailors your treatment plan based on:

  • Your specific injury
  • How long it’s been present
  • Your activity level and goals

🛤️ Don’t Let Old Injuries Hold You Back
