If you’re stuck in chronic pain, recovering from injury, or dealing with stubborn soft tissue dysfunction, shockwave therapy may be the breakthrough your body has been waiting for.
At Axon Integrative Health, we offer focused shockwave therapy as part of our comprehensive brain-body rehab model. This advanced modality helps stimulate tissue repair, break down scar tissue, improve blood flow, and accelerate healing—without surgery or downtime.
Whether you’re an athlete trying to get back to training, or simply tired of chronic tendon pain that won’t go away, shockwave therapy in Denver could be the key to unlocking your next level of recovery.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
- Increase circulation
- Activate fibroblasts (the cells that build connective tissue)
- Reduce local inflammation and pain signals
- Encourage remodeling of tendons, ligaments, and fascia
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
Shockwaves trigger a cellular microtrauma response—basically telling the body, “Hey, there’s a problem here—let’s heal it right this time.”
When guided by the right hands and paired with integrative care, shockwave therapy:
- Breaks up scar tissue and calcification
- Increases nitric oxide and growth factors for better healing
- Stimulates nerve regeneration
- Improves mobility and joint function
Conditions We Treat with Shockwave Therapy
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tennis elbow / golfer’s elbow
- Shoulder calcific tendinitis
- Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)
- Achilles tendinitis
- Shin splints
- Hip pain and gluteal tendinopathy
- Scar tissue buildup or fascial restriction
- Delayed healing post-injury or surgery
- Trigger points or myofascial pain syndromes
What Makes Shockwave Therapy at Axon Different?
Most clinics use shockwave only for orthopedic injuries. At Axon, we go deeper.
We use shockwave therapy as part of a whole-system recovery process, combining:
- Brain-based rehab to reconnect movement patterns
- Chiropractic care and neuro-mobility techniques
- Red light therapy, PEMF, IV therapy to support healing from the inside
- Functional medicine insights to address inflammation and tissue biochemistry
What to Expect During a Shockwave Session
Treatments are quick—usually around 10–20 minutes—and well tolerated. You may feel some discomfort during the pulse phase (similar to tapping or snapping), but many patients feel relief almost immediately.
Most conditions respond well to a series of 4–8 sessions, spaced out over 1–2 weeks, depending on the severity and chronicity of the issue.
Is Shockwave Therapy Safe?
Yes. Shockwave therapy is FDA-cleared, non-invasive, and has minimal side effects. It’s an excellent alternative to cortisone injections or surgery for many chronic soft tissue conditions.
