Center of Gravity Chiropractic and Rehabilitation in Katy, Texas, is home to Dr. Robert Rocque, a provider of innovative treatments to enhance your health and recovery. One of the advanced therapies we offer is shockwave therapy, a powerful tool for managing musculoskeletal conditions.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes acoustic waves to stimulate healing. During the treatment, a specialized device generates high-energy sound waves that are directed toward the injured area. These sound waves create microtraumas in the tissue, triggering the body’s natural healing processes and increasing blood flow.
Why is Shockwave Therapy Used?
Dr. Rocque uses shockwave therapy in our Katy office to treat a variety of conditions, particularly those related to chronic pain and musculoskeletal injuries. This therapy is helpful for conditions such as tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, calcific shoulder syndrome, tennis elbow, and golfer's elbow.
The reasons shockwave therapy is utilized include its ability to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain. By stimulating the body’s repair mechanisms, shockwave therapy can help break down scar tissue and promote the regeneration of damaged tissues. This makes it an excellent option for patients who have not found relief through other treatments or who are seeking a non-invasive alternative to surgery.
Additionally, shockwave therapy is known for its quick treatment sessions and minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities shortly after. Many patients report significant improvements in pain and function after just a few sessions, making it a valuable addition to our comprehensive approach to chiropractic care.

A STUDY CONCLUSION from the Journal of Clinical Orthopedics and Trauma…
“This non-invasive medical procedure is capable of triggering cellular and molecular alterations that assist in the regeneration of all injured tissues. ESWT is mainly responsible for: pain relief, by acting directly on nerve fibers; tissue regeneration by stimulating vascularization; and reduction of calcium deposits in the tissues. Numerous publications have proven the efficacy and safety of focused ESWT for the treatment of numerous musculoskeletal disorders, including osteoarthritis, different types of tendinopathies. ESWT should be considered in severe cases where conventional treatments prove to be of little success, especially in patients who prefer non-operative alternatives.”
Other treatment conditions:
- Foot Neuropathy.
- Plantar Fasciitis.
- Frozen Shoulder.
- Chronic Joint Pain.
Shock Wave therapy can generate interstitial and extracellular responses, producing many beneficial effects such as:
Pain relief, vascularization, protein biosynthesis, cell proliferation, nerve and cartilage regeneration, and destruction of calcium deposits musculoskeletal structures. The combination of these effects can lead to tissue regeneration and significant alleviation of pain and improving functional outcomes in injured tissues.
