How Long Has Your Tendon Pain Been Going On?
Many people live with tendon pain longer than they expected.
You may recognize one of these stages:
1–4 weeks
Tendon pain starts with activity or repetitive use.
1–3 months
Symptoms improve slightly, then return.
3–6 months
Activity becomes more limited.
6+ months
The tissue becomes chronic and often needs additional stimulation to restart healing.
Why Tendon Pain Often Becomes Chronic
The tendons have limited blood supply.
When injured, the tissue sometimes stalls in the healing process.
Over time this may lead to:
✔ Chronic inflammation
✔ Degenerative tendon tissue
✔ Scar tissue formation
✔ Weakened collagen fibers
This is why tendon pain can linger for months despite stretching, braces, or physical therapy.
The tissue simply never completed the healing process.
How Shockwave Therapy Helps Restart Healing
Focused shockwave therapy delivers precise acoustic energy into damaged tissue.
This stimulation helps:
✔ Increase circulation
✔ Activate tissue repair signals
✔ Stimulate collagen regeneration
✔ Reduce chronic inflammation
Focused shockwave therapy is widely used in sports medicine and orthopedic clinics to treat chronic tendon injuries in runners, athletes, and active adults.
Proprietary Advanced Healing Protocol
At Rise Chiropractic, stubborn tendon injuries are treated using our proprietary Advanced Healing Protocol.
This combines focused shockwave therapy with photobiomodulation laser therapy to stimulate healing at multiple levels.
Shockwave restarts the healing process mechanically, while laser therapy enhances cellular repair and recovery.
What Patients Are Saying
I've been having shoulder pain affecting my pickleball swing. One treatment with the shockwave and my pain is down & my range of motion is way better!!! Excited to get back on the court!

My shoulder never fully healed from a rotator cuff tear preventing me from lifting as heavy as I would like. With 10 sessions of shockwave my shoulder is now feeling full strength again.
