Advanced pain relief and faster healing at Spinal Solutions Chiropractic

If you’re tired of dealing with chronic pain, stiffness, or slow recovery from injuries, Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) or some might say Softwave Therapy may be exactly what you need. At Spinal Solutions Chiropractic, we use the advanced PSP10 and PSP15 Shockwave Therapy Machine to help our patients heal faster, reduce pain, and restore mobility — safely and naturally.

A Modern Shockwave Therapy Adaptation of Traditional Thai Tok Sen Massage

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Centuries ago in Northern Thailand, healers used a wooden hammer and stick to gently tap along the body’s energy lines — a traditional therapy called Tok Sen. Each rhythmic strike sent deep, vibrating pulses through muscles and fascia, helping to release tension, restore energy flow, and ease pain.

Today, modern science has given this ancient idea a new form: Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT).Instead of wooden tools, the PSP10 shockwave machine delivers controlled acoustic waves into the body. Like Tok Sen, these vibrations penetrate deep into tissues to stimulate circulation, reduce muscle tightness, and promote natural healing.

While Tok Sen works through the body’s energy meridians and intuition, Shockwave therapy (ESWT) uses precise frequencies and medical calibration. Yet, both share the same goal — to awaken the body’s own ability to heal.

When combined with chiropractic care or therapeutic massage, shockwave therapy bridges ancient wisdom and modern medicine, helping patients experience deep relief and faster recovery in a truly holistic way.

These focused sound waves increase blood flow, stimulate tissue repair, and break down scar tissue — all without surgery or medication.

How the PSP10 Shock Wave Therapy Machine Works

The PSP10 shockwave device delivers controlled pulses of energy into the targeted area. These waves trigger a biological response that promotes faster healing:

Improves blood circulation and oxygen delivery
Breaks down scar tissue and calcifications
Stimulates collagen production to strengthen soft tissue
Reduces inflammation and nerve sensitivity

Most treatments take only 10–15 minutes, and many patients feel noticeable improvement after just a few sessions.

Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy can help relieve and speed recovery from:

Chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain
Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
Tendinitis, tennis elbow, or golfer’s elbow
Muscle strains and joint stiffness
Sports and overuse injuries

Because it works at the cellular level, patients often experience faster recovery, less pain, and long-lasting relief.

At Spinal Solutions Chiropractic, we believe in addressing the root cause of your pain — not just the symptoms. That’s why we often combine shockwave therapy with chiropractic adjustments and personalized exercise programs:
