How Long Has Your Knee Pain Been Going On?
Many people live with knee pain longer than they expected.
You may recognize one of these stages:
1–4 weeks
Knee pain starts during or after loading activity.
1–3 months
Rest may help briefly, but squats, stairs, and workouts keep triggering it.
3–6 months
Training volume drops and daily activity becomes more limited.
6+ months
The injury becomes chronic and the tissue often needs additional stimulation to restart healing.
Why Knee Pain Often Becomes Chronic
The patellar tendon can become chronically irritated when repeated loading outpaces healing.
When injured, the tissue sometimes stalls in the healing process.
Over time this may lead to:
✔ Chronic inflammation
✔ Degenerative tendons
✔ Scar tissue formation
✔ Weakened collagen fibers
This is why knee 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
For years I avoided hiking and rock climbing - fearing knee pain flare ups. After 6 sessions of focused shockwave, I'm able to hike without pain. Highly recommend!
-Vernon D.
Had a surgery on an injured meniscus, but was still getting frequent, limiting pains. It was to the point where I would avoid going on walks with my girlfriend. Shockwave helped me get past that sense that it hadn't healed fully. Just happy to have that confidence back.
