If you’ve been living with chronic pain, stubborn tendon injuries, or persistent soft tissue problems that just won’t respond to traditional treatment, shockwave therapy may be the breakthrough you’ve been looking for. At Shaw Chiropractic in Jacksonville, we offer state-of-the-art Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) as part of our comprehensive approach to pain relief and recovery — without drugs, needles, or surgery.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that delivers targeted acoustic (sound) pressure waves deep into injured tissue. These high-energy pulses stimulate your body’s natural healing mechanisms by increasing blood flow, breaking down scar tissue and calcium deposits, and triggering the production of new collagen. The result? Accelerated healing, reduced inflammation, and lasting pain relief, often in just a few sessions.
The technology has been widely used in sports medicine and orthopedic clinics for years, and it’s now available right here in Jacksonville through Shaw Chiropractic.

Conditions We Treat with Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is clinically proven to be highly effective for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Plantar fasciitis — one of the most common causes of heel pain, especially in active adults and runners
- Achilles tendinopathy — chronic pain and stiffness at the back of the heel
- Rotator cuff injuries — shoulder pain that limits your range of motion and daily function
- Tennis elbow & golfer’s elbow — persistent lateral or medial elbow pain from repetitive strain
- Patellar tendinitis (jumper’s knee) — knee pain that won’t quit despite rest and rehab
- Calcific shoulder tendinitis — calcium buildups that cause significant shoulder pain and stiffness
- Chronic muscle tension and trigger points — deep, knotted muscle pain that resists massage and stretching
- IT band syndrome — common in runners and cyclists throughout the Jacksonville area
If you’ve tried physical therapy, cortisone injections, or prolonged rest with little lasting relief, shockwave therapy is often the next step that finally works.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Your shockwave therapy session at Shaw Chiropractic starts with a thorough evaluation so we can pinpoint the exact source of your pain and confirm that ESWT is the right fit for your condition. The treatment itself is straightforward — a handheld device is pressed against the skin over the affected area and delivers a series of rapid pressure pulses directly into the tissue.
Each session typically takes 15 to 20 minutes. Most patients require between 3 and 6 sessions, spaced about one week apart, to achieve optimal results. Some mild soreness for 24 to 48 hours after treatment is normal and actually indicates the healing process is underway. Many patients begin noticing significant improvement after just 2 to 3 sessions.
There’s no downtime, no anesthesia, and no recovery period — you can return to your normal activities the same day.
