Tired of Chronic Pain Limiting Your Life? Discover Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT) at Olathe Chiropractic.
At Olathe Chiropractic, we understand how debilitating chronic pain can be. Whether it's persistent heel pain, a nagging shoulder injury, or stubborn tendonitis, finding lasting relief can feel like an endless search. That's why we're proud to offer Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT) – a cutting-edge, non-invasive solution designed to accelerate healing, reduce pain, and restore your active lifestyle right here in Olathe, Kansas.
RSWT uses precisely delivered acoustic waves to stimulate your body's natural healing processes. It's a highly effective treatment for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, offering a safe and efficient alternative to injections or surgery for many of our patients in Olathe and the
surrounding communities.

What is Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT) and How Does It Work?
Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT) is a modern, non-invasive treatment that delivers high-energy acoustic waves to affected tissues. Unlike traditional chiropractic adjustments that focus on spinal alignment, RSWT targets specific areas of chronic pain and injury at a cellular level.
Here’s how it works:
- Acoustic Wave Delivery: A handheld applicator is placed on the skin over the affected area. This device generates radial (spreading) acoustic waves.
- Cellular Stimulation: These waves penetrate the tissue, creating microscopic cavitation bubbles that induce a controlled microtrauma.
- Enhanced Healing Response: This "microtrauma" stimulates a powerful biological response:
- Increased Blood Flow: Promotes nutrient delivery and waste removal.
- Cell Regeneration: Activates stem cells and growth factors for
tissue repair.
- Reduced Pain: Disrupts pain signals and can break down calcifications.
- Collagen Production: Encourages the formation of new, healthy tissue.
- Inflammation Reduction: Helps resolve chronic inflammatory processes.
The result is accelerated healing, significant pain reduction, and improved function, allowing you to get back to what you love faster.

Your RSWT Experience at Olathe Chiropractic
Your journey to pain relief with RSWT typically begins with a thorough consultation and examination by our experienced chiropractor. If RSWT is determined to be the right treatment for you, here’s what you can expect:
- Consultation & Diagnosis: We'll discuss your medical history, symptoms, and conduct a physical examination to accurately diagnose your condition.
- Treatment Plan: A personalized treatment plan will be created, outlining the number of sessions recommended (typically 3-5 sessions, spaced 5-10 days apart).
- Treatment Session:
- You'll be positioned comfortably.
- A gel will be applied to the skin over the treatment area to ensure optimal wave transmission.
- Our chiropractor will use a handheld applicator to deliver the radial shockwaves. You may feel a sensation ranging from mild discomfort to moderate pain during the treatment, which is a sign the waves are targeting the affected tissue. The intensity is adjustable for your comfort.
- Each session usually lasts between 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Post-Treatment: You can typically resume most normal activities immediately. Some mild soreness or bruising may occur in the treated area, which usually subsides within a day or two. We'll provide specific post-treatment care instructions.
We are committed to making your RSWT experience as comfortable and effective as possible.
