Advanced Healing Without Surgery
Shockwave therapy is one of the most exciting advances in non-invasive pain treatment available today. At ChiroCare Clinic, Dr. Angie Skokos uses extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) to accelerate healing in tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues that have been slow to respond to traditional treatments.

Acoustic Healing Technology
Shockwave therapy delivers focused acoustic pressure waves to injured tissue. These waves stimulate blood flow, trigger cellular repair, and break down scar tissue and calcifications that may be preventing healing. The treatment is non-invasive — there are no incisions, no anesthesia, and no downtime. Most sessions take just 10-15 minutes, and patients can return to normal activities immediately afterward.
During the treatment, Dr. Skokos applies a handheld device to the affected area. You will feel a rapid tapping sensation — it can be intense over tender areas, but it is very tolerable and each pulse lasts only a fraction of a second. Most patients describe it as uncomfortable but not painful. Dr. Skokos adjusts the intensity based on your feedback to keep you comfortable throughout the session.
Many patients notice improvement after just one or two sessions, though a typical treatment plan involves 3-6 sessions spaced about a week apart. Shockwave therapy is especially effective for chronic conditions that have not responded to rest, medication, or physical therapy. Dr. Skokos often combines it with chiropractic care and targeted exercises for the best possible outcomes. Research shows success rates of 70-80% for conditions like plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow.
From her Google reviews
★★★★★"I had plantar fasciitis for over a year and tried everything — orthotics, stretching, cortisone shots. Nothing worked until Dr. Angie recommended shockwave therapy. After four sessions, the pain was almost completely gone. I can finally walk in the morning without limping." — Patient
