Got Inflammation?

Inflammation is involved in chronic and acute health conditions. Inflammation causes pain, range of motion issues, inhibits recovery, causes fatigue and more. Inflammation is often overlooked, yet inflammation is proven to be a destructive force if left unattended.

Inflammation limits how well your body heals and performs. Until recently there hasn’t been a non-invasive, effective solution for inflammation problems. Many we meet have unfortunately been told their health problems are part of the aging process and/or the result of an old injury and they need to “just live with it”.

What if inflammation is the culprit to your health issues? What if Shockwave was the possible solution?

What is Shockwave and/or What is a Shockwave?

Shockwaves are created by means of a high-energy electrical discharge in water. The voltage is discharged between the opposing tips of an electrode. The arcing or spark gap causes an equalization of voltage between the two tips of the electrode whereby a hot plasma bubble is created.

The end goal with Shockwave treatments is to assist the body in displacing the sedentary inflammation in your joints and tissues, whereas in place of the absence of inflammation, your innate intelligence will respond by increasing the flow of circulation, that contains the healing agents your body and that specific area has been yearning for. The end result? The enabling of your body to heal and perform at it’s best!

A key component to our Shockwave technology is that it diagnoses, while simultaneously treating you, making for the most efficient initial visit you could imagine.

At Nelson Chiropractic we believe there is no reason you should be shuffled and inconvenienced by going room to room, nor waste time repeating your history from one practitioner to another. The consultation, diagnosis and treatment are all completed within the same treatment room, during a 20-30-minute initial appointment.

Thereafter if you are deemed a qualified candidate, who we deem will further benefit from our care, you can plan for a typical visit to last only 5-15-minutes.

How many visits are required and what’s the investment?

Your care recommendations will be determined by many factors identified throughout your initial visit.

The visit duration, the number of visits, your care recommendations and your financial investment is not known, nor can we, or do we believe it is best to assume prior to meeting someone. The uniqueness of your health concerns, history, findings and health objectives are exactly why we tailor a plan specifically to you, resulting in how we are able to achieve the results we do.

Our qualified candidates will typically experience a 5-20% improvement during the initial treatment.
