If you’re suffering from the stiffness of a frozen shoulder or the nagging pain of tennis elbow, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep suffering. Seven Bridges Chiropractic in Jacksonville Fl, offers non-invasive Shockwave Therapy, an effective solution backed by science. In this blog, we’ll explore how Shockwave Therapy targets Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) and Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis); delivering relief, improved mobility, and return to daily life.
What Is Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)?
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is designed to reignite your body’s natural healing process. Normally, when you’re injured, your body immediately works to repair damaged tissue, bone, and cells. But with chronic pain, the body often “forgets” the injury is there, shutting down the healing response and leaving you trapped in a cycle of ongoing discomfort.
Shockwave Therapy breaks that cycle. Using powerful acoustic energy waves, ESWT penetrates deep into soft tissues to create a controlled microtrauma. This safely stimulates your body to “wake up” its healing response again—boosting circulation, reducing pain, and repairing tissue for long-term relief.
Here’s what happens during treatment:
-
New blood vessel growth – Shockwaves trigger biochemical changes that encourage tiny new blood vessels to form, increasing oxygen and nutrient delivery.
-
Collagen and tissue repair – The pulses stimulate cells responsible for bone, tendon, and ligament healing.
-
Breaking down scar tissue & calcification – Built-up restrictions that block movement are gently disrupted, restoring mobility.
In many cases, patients experience significant relief from conditions that haven’t responded to rest, medications, or even injections. That’s why Shockwave Therapy is increasingly recommended for stubborn conditions like frozen shoulder and tennis elbow, getting you back to moving without pain.
