Question 1

How long does a shockwave therapy session take?

Accepted Answer

A shockwave therapy session typically takes just a few minutes per area treated, and appointments including check-in usually run well under an hour.

Question 2

Do I need to prepare anything before a shockwave therapy appointment?

Accepted Answer

No special preparation is required before a shockwave therapy appointment. Patients can eat, drink, and go about their normal routine beforehand, and no fasting or medication adjustments are needed.

Question 3

Is shockwave therapy covered by insurance?

Accepted Answer

Insurance coverage for shockwave therapy varies by plan and provider. The Cedar Park Chiropractic & Acupuncture office can help verify individual benefits, and cash-pay options are available for patients without coverage.

Question 4

Can I drive myself home after a shockwave therapy session?

Accepted Answer

Yes, since no anesthesia or sedation is used, patients can drive themselves to and from appointments and resume normal activity immediately afterward.

Question 5

Will I need shockwave therapy on an ongoing basis, or is it a one-time treatment plan?

Accepted Answer

Shockwave therapy is typically delivered as a defined series of sessions to resolve a specific condition, not an ongoing treatment. Some patients return for periodic sessions later if a new issue develops, but it isn't structured as continuous maintenance care.

Question 6

What should I do differently between shockwave therapy sessions?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Swanson provides guidance specific to the condition being treated, which often includes modifying aggravating activities, targeted stretching or strengthening, and general advice for supporting the tissue while it heals between visits.

Question 7

Can shockwave therapy be combined with chiropractic adjustments in the same visit?

Accepted Answer

Yes, shockwave therapy is often combined with chiropractic adjustments or other physiotherapy modalities in the same visit, since addressing joint mechanics and soft tissue healing together frequently produces better overall results than either approach alone.
