Shockwave Therapy in Prince Frederick
If osteoarthritis, Achilles pain, tennis elbow, or a stubborn shoulder is holding you back, shockwave therapy may be a smart next step.
Chiropractor Dr. Daniel Collins uses a focused sound-wave device—based on the same principle used to break up kidney stones—to precisely target painful tissues. Sessions at Collins Chiropractic Center are noninvasive, drug-free, and generally well tolerated. It’s a great option when rest, medication, or other care hasn’t provided the relief you hoped for.
How This Therapy Works
Shockwave therapy sends controlled acoustic waves into the affected area to stimulate your body’s natural repair process. The pulses can:
- Increase blood flow
- Reduce inflammation
- Calm irritated tissues
- Stimulate chondrocytes (cells that help form cartilage)
Conditions Shockwave Therapy Can Help
Many patients in Prince Frederick choose shockwave therapy to address long-lasting joint and soft tissue pain—without injections or surgery. It may help with osteoarthritis and general joint pain; sacroiliac joint, hip, knee, ankle, elbow, or shoulder pain; Achilles tendon problems; tendinitis; and soft-tissue pain and overuse injuries.
This therapy works best for non-spinal joints and chronic soft-tissue issues. Dr. Collins will assess your case and determine whether shockwave—or another approach—is the right fit.
What to Expect During Treatment
A typical visit, including evaluation and your session, takes about 30 minutes. You’ll need more than one session to experience lasting benefits, but more time in a single visit isn’t necessarily better.
Sessions are comfortable and site-specific, focusing on the exact area that needs attention. The intensity can be adjusted for small, tender points or larger joints that ache with movement.
Simple, Transparent Pricing
Insurance does not cover shockwave sessions, but we keep pricing straightforward: $100 for the initial evaluation and first session (same price for one or multiple joints), and $50 for each follow-up session.
Dr. Collins often pairs this method with cold laser therapy at no extra charge to support faster healing. HSA plans are welcome, and same- or next-day appointments are often available at our Prince Frederick office.
