Shockwave Therapy in Keller, TX
Are you dealing with persistent pain, a stubborn tendon problem, or an old sports injury that just won't heal? At Performance Chiropractic Clinic, radial shockwave therapy uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate your body's natural repair processes, with no surgery, no injections, and no downtime. Dr. Dennis James integrates shockwave into a gentle, individualized plan designed to restore function, not simply mask pain.

- Plantar fasciitis and heel spurs
- Achilles and patellar tendon problems
- Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow
- Shoulder impingement, rotator cuff injuries, and frozen shoulder (see shoulder pain)
- IT band syndrome, shin splints, and hip flexor injuries
- Chronic wrist, hand, and ankle pain, and carpal tunnel
- Scar tissue, calcific tendonitis, and chronic inflammation
- Select knee, spinal, and joint problems
How Shockwave Therapy Works
Shockwave therapy is a regenerative, non-invasive treatment. Research shows acoustic waves can:
- Increase blood flow: stimulating new circulation in chronically injured tissue
- Trigger growth factors: supporting the body's natural tissue repair signals
- Break down restrictions: helping remodel scar tissue and calcifications
- Reduce pain: many patients notice relief early in their treatment course
Shockwave is an FDA-cleared, well-studied, non-surgical option for many chronic tendon and soft-tissue conditions.
What to Expect
- Consultation and evaluation: we determine whether shockwave fits your personalized plan.
- Weekly sessions: most protocols involve one session per week for about four to eight weeks.
- Ongoing assessment: functional testing and re-evaluations track your progress.
An Integrated Approach for Lasting Results
Shockwave is one piece of our whole-person care model. We often combine it with:
- Gentle chiropractic and Zone Healing
- Needle-less acupuncture and micro-current
- Red and infrared light therapy
- Functional nutrition to reduce inflammation
- AcuGraph imaging from our advanced technology
This multidisciplinary approach supports healing structurally, neurologically, and metabolically. Shockwave is popular with athletes, see sports recovery and performance, and with patients whose chronic pain hasn't responded to other care.
