What Our Patients Are Saying
When I first walked into Chiropractor back in May, I was in so much pain from a back injury that I could barely sit down. Bending over was out of the question, and sleep was a struggle. Fast forward four months, and I'm a completely different person. The pain is gone, and I'm back to enjoying my active life again. Dr. Nick Kubler is the real deal. He’s incredibly skilled and knew exactly how to help me heal. Beyond his expertise, his compassionate and humane approach made all the difference. He truly listens and makes you feel like you're in good hands. An incredible place, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of top-notch care.

I had such a great experience here! It was my first ever visit to a chiropractor and they made me feel so at ease. Dr Kubler went over my x-rays and helped me figure out a wellness plan that would suit me best. The office staff are so sweet as well!

I had been dealing with chronic pain in my neck and back for some time and knew I needed an adjustment. After a quick Google search, I found this practice and decided to check it out—and I’m so glad I did! During my visit, Nick walked me through my X-rays, clearly explaining the source of my pain and laying out a proposed treatment plan to address it. After just a couple of adjustments, I’m virtually pain-free and can fully understand why they have such glowing reviews. I came in because of those reviews and the great introductory offer, but I became a customer after experiencing the outstanding professionalism, care, and positive energy from everyone here. Ten out of ten, would absolutely recommend!

How Shockwave Therapy Works
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) has been a physical therapy modality for 20 years. Professional athletes in respected organizations like the NBA plagued by injuries have received ESWT and recovered with great success for many years. This therapy effectively treats sports injuries, tendon injuries, ligament injuries, muscle pain, and other soft tissue injuries.
Shockwave Therapy is a trigger point treatment that uses acoustic waves or shockwaves to induce microtrauma to injured tissues. The microtraumas stimulate repair processes, like neovascularization, which is the formation of new blood vessels. Neovascularization helps increase blood flow to damaged tissues, deliver essential nutrients for healing, and relieve pain symptoms.
So, get started relieving your injury-related pain and accelerating your recovery by scheduling a consultation at Capital Chiropractic in Sacramento for Shockwave Therapy.
Shockwave Therapy Clinical FAQs
Shockwaves create controlled microtrauma that stimulates neovascularization and tissue regeneration. This process breaks down calcifications, increases blood flow, and initiates healing in chronic tendon and ligament conditions.
Radial waves treat larger, more superficial areas like plantar fascia, while focused waves target specific deep structures like hip tendons. We select technology based on condition depth and tissue characteristics.
Plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy, and shoulder calcific tendinitis often respond well. The treatment particularly helps conditions where conventional approaches haven't provided sufficient relief.
Most protocols involve 3-5 sessions spaced one week apart. Some patients notice improvement after the first treatment, while others require the full series for optimal results at Capital Chiropractic in Sacramento.
Temporary soreness, swelling, or bruising may occur as part of the inflammatory healing response. We provide specific aftercare instructions including activity modification and icing protocols.
We often combine it with chiropractic, corrective exercises, and activity modification guidance. Shockwave addresses tissue quality while other approaches improve biomechanics and movement patterns.
We avoid treatment of overgrowth plates, certain implants, blood clotting disorders, or areas with an active infection. Pre-treatment evaluation ensures safe application for each patient's unique situation.
With proper rehabilitation and activity modification, many patients maintain improvements for months to years. We recommend progressive loading exercises to strengthen treated tissues and prevent recurrence.
