What Our Patients Are Saying
I went to see Dr Kubler for help with pain in both knees. After reviewing my xrays, it was discovered I had a lateral spine issue causing my pain. Dr Kubler mapped out a plan to correct my spine and reduce my pain with adjustments, decompression and exercise. Dr Kubler helped me get back to enjoying life.

I cannot recommend Dr. Nick Kubler enough. When I first went to see him, I was literally doubled over with severe back pain that had started affecting my mobility and my daily life—especially as a parent to an active 8-year-old. I have been working with Dr. from last year, and his approach throughout my recovery was incredibly thoughtful and methodical. From the very beginning, he took the time to clearly explain what was causing the pain, what the recovery process could realistically look like, and how each step of the treatment would help. He always kept expectations realistic while also showing measurable progress during each session, which was very motivating. What really stood out was that he didn’t just focus on treating the pain in the moment. He invested time in teaching me exercises and mobility practices that I could do on my own to strengthen my back and support long-term recovery. Dr. Kubler also takes the time to know his patients beyond just the appointment. He showed genuine interest in understanding my lifestyle and my family, and helped me make small but meaningful changes that supported not just recovery, but maintaining a healthy back long term. If you’re looking for a chiropractor who is deeply knowledgeable, patient-focused, and committed to helping you recover and stay healthy, I highly recommend Dr. Nick Kubler.

I have been a patient of Dr. Kubler’s for three years now. I have chronic pain due to scoliosis and degenerative discs. I’ve had multiple surgeries to my back for ruptured discs. With regular adjustments and spinal decompression treatment, Dr. Kubler has truly helped change my life. My pain substantially decreased under his care and I found myself enjoying hobbies that I had stopped due to my constant pain. He also helped take care of me through my pregnancy helping to relieve the low back, sciatic nerve, and round ligament pains I experienced during my second and third trimesters and postpartum.
Dr. Kubler really listens and adapts his techniques to better serve his patients. His desire for knowledge and to help are palpable in every interaction. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kubler and how he has helped me and my family.

Dr. Kubler is fantastic! As a new patient who has struggled with scoliosis for many years and hasn’t found real relief until coming to Dr. Kubler, I was a little nervous to get adjusted—but I felt truly cared for from the start. He was very attentive, explained everything clearly, and my adjustment brought real relief. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about his patients’ well-being. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy chiropractor!

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.
