Experience Shock Wave Therapy in Alpharetta

Our technique

Shock Wave Therapy

Shock wave therapy (also known as ESWT) is a modern, non-invasive treatment that uses high-intensity sound waves (acoustic pulses) to help promote healing faster and more effectively – with no downtime. It is a therapy used worldwide in the field of sport’s medicine and physical therapy.

Shock wave therapy is known under many names such as acoustic pressure wave therapy (APWT), extracorporeal pulse activation therapy (EPAT), and acoustic wave therapy (AWT); however, the two main categories of shock wave therapy are categorized as radial and focused waves.

Radial shock wave therapy is optimal for a wider variety of indications, whereas focused shock wave therapy offers a deeper penetration for targeted conditions.

Shock wave therapy transmits high peak acoustic pressure waves to promote and accelerate healing for chronic and subacute conditions. Research supports shock wave therapy as an effective treatment for various soft tissue injuries, musculoskeletal pain, and mobility issues. Biological benefits include:

Reduce pain faster
Improve range of motion
Increase blood flow and micro circulation
Stimulate tissue remodeling and neovasularization
Reverse chronic inflammation
Reverse chronic inflammation
Increase nitric oxide (NO)
Activates stem cells and growth factors

Cellular Effects of K-Laser Therapy

During K-Laser Therapy the infrared laser light interacts with tissues at the cellular level and metabolic activity increases within the cell, improving the transport of nutrients across the cell membrane. This initiates the production of cellular energy (ATP) that leads to a cascade of beneficial effects, increasing cellular function and health.

K-Laser (Class IV)

Class IV K-Laser Therapy is a Pain Free application delivering infrared laser light to the affected tissue. This promotes increased circulation, decreased swelling, reduction of pain, and accelerated healing and tissue repair. Our doctors specialize in K-Laser Therapy; they find it very beneficial in treating of soft tissue Injuries, sprains, strains, repetitive strain injuries as well as back, elbow, arm and neck pains.

Laser Therapy, or “photobiomodulation”, is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near-infrared) to create therapeutic effects. These effects include improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation and decreased swelling. Laser Therapy has been widely utilized in Europe by physical therapists, nurses and doctors as far back as the 1970’s. Now, after FDA clearance in 2002, Laser Therapy is being used extensively in the United States.

VAX-D Spinal Decompression

The non-surgical solution for low back pain and sciatica. A FDA approved device that applies a measured amount of distraction force to the intradiscal spaces of the lumbar spine.

Back to Balance Wellness Center FAQs

Back to Balance Wellness Center answered

At Back to Balance Wellness Center

If you’ve tried rest, stretching, or other therapies and your pain keeps coming back, there’s usually a deeper issue that hasn’t been addressed.

Shockwave therapy helps us target that issue directly—stimulating healing at the source so you can get real, lasting results.

At Back to Balance Wellness Center, we use shockwave therapy as part of a comprehensive care plan, not a stand-alone quick fix.

Why Patients Choose Shockwave Therapy?

Most treatments focus on temporary relief. This is where shockwave therapy stands apart.

It works by delivering acoustic waves into damaged tissue to:

Stimulate cellular repair
Increase blood flow to stubborn areas
Break down scar tissue and chronic inflammation

This makes it especially effective for patients who feel “stuck” and aren’t improving with traditional care alone.

What It Feels Like (And What to Expect)?

Let’s address this directly—because this is where most patients hesitate.

During treatment:

You’ll feel *rapid tapping or pulsing sensations * over the area
Some spots may be tender, especially if the tissue is inflamed
The intensity is completely adjustable

Most sessions last 5–10 minutes, and many patients notice:

The discomfort becomes easier each visit
The area feels looser and less sensitive afterward

This isn’t a passive treatment—you’re actively stimulating healing, which is why it works.

Is It Safe?

Yes—and this is where people tend to overthink it.

Shockwave therapy is:

*Non-invasive * (no needles, no surgery)
Drug-free
Performed using FDA-cleared technology
Designed to stimulate—not damage—tissueYou might feel mild soreness after treatment (similar to a workout), but serious side effects are extremely rare when done properly.

We always evaluate first to make sure you’re a good candidate.

Does It Actually Work?

Here’s the honest answer: it works very well for the right conditions.

We commonly use shockwave therapy for:

Plantar fasciitis
Shoulder pain and rotator cuff issues
Tennis/golfer’s elbow
Achilles tendon pain
Chronic muscle tightness

Most patients notice:

Improvement within 3–6 visits
Better movement and flexibility
Reduced pain with daily activities

But here’s the part most clinics don’t say:

👉 Shockwave works best when combined with *chiropractic care and movement-based rehab*—which is exactly how we use it in our office.

Why Results Vary (And How We Improve Yours)?

Not everyone gets the same results—and pretending otherwise is misleading.

Your outcome depends on:

How long you’ve had the issue
How severe the tissue damage is
How consistent you are with care
What you do outside the office

That’s why we don’t just plug you into a machine.

We build a *custom plan * that may include:

Chiropractic adjustments
Corrective exercises
Soft tissue work
Shockwave therapy (when appropriate)

That combination is what produces real, lasting change.

Is Shockwave Therapy Right for You?

If your pain:

Keeps coming back
Hasn’t responded to other treatments
Is limiting your daily activity

Then shockwave therapy may be exactly what you’ve been missing.

But it’s not for everyone—and we won’t recommend it unless it actually fits your case.

If you have any questions please reach out to me and I’ll be glad to explain. I have forwarded you an email also to ensure you have everything needed.
