In the realm of modern chiropractic care, shockwave therapy has gained significant attention for its promising results in treating various musculoskeletal conditions.

However, not all shockwave therapies are created equal. At NY Disc Chiropractic, we believe it’s crucial for patients to understand how the underlying technology of shockwave devices can dramatically affect clinical outcomes.

The Science Behind Shockwaves

Shockwave therapy, at its core, aims to deliver high-energy acoustic waves to injured tissues, promoting healing and pain relief.

But here is where things get interesting: the method of generating these shockwaves is pivotal to their effectiveness.

Not all shockwave devices are built the same, and this can lead to significant differences in patient outcomes.

Radial vs. Focused Shockwaves

A key point of differentiation in shockwave therapy devices is whether they produce radial or focused shockwaves.

Radial shockwave machines, which are among the most popular on the market, do not actually produce true shockwaves.

Instead, they generate acoustic waves that spread outward from the source.
While radial devices can offer some benefits, they often fall short in delivering the deep tissue penetration required for effective treatment.

The SoftWave Advantage

This is where NY Disc Chiropractic stands out. Our clinic proudly utilizes the SoftWave device, the only unfocused electrohydraulic shockwave technology available in the American market today.
Unlike radial machines, the SoftWave device produces true shockwaves, which are focused and can penetrate deeper into tissues.

This advanced technology allows for more precise targeting and more effective treatment of chronic pain and injuries.

The SoftWave device works by creating shockwaves through an electrohydraulic process, which generates powerful, linear waves capable of reaching deeper into the affected areas.
This results in superior clinical outcomes compared to other devices, as it can more effectively stimulate the body’s healing processes and reduce pain.
