Shockwave Therapy in Denver Colorado with Dr Mac
Restore, Recover, and Get Back to What You Love
If you’re struggling with chronic pain, old injuries that just won’t heal, or nagging tendon problems that keep coming back —
Shockwave Therapy may be the solution you’ve been waiting for.
At Buffalo Spine Sports Chiropractic, Dr. Mac offers this cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment to help active individuals, athletes, and hard-working professionals recover faster without surgery or downtime.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy — also called Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) — is a clinically proven treatment that uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged soft tissues. It’s been widely used in sports medicine, orthopedics, and rehabilitation to:
Break up scar tissue
Promote blood flow
Accelerate tendon and ligament repair
Unlike passive modalities (like ice or heat), shockwave therapy actively kickstarts the body’s natural healing response, even in stubborn, chronic injuries.
How Does It Work?
During treatment, a handheld device delivers focused shockwaves directly to the injured area. These mechanical waves penetrate deep into tissues, triggering:
Microtrauma (in a good way) that encourages tissue regeneration
Increased blood circulation to nourish damaged cells
Pain modulation by resetting pain signals at the nerve level
Collagen production — crucial for tendon healing
Most patients feel a combination of mild discomfort and deep relief — often after the very first session.
