Shockwave Therapy in Auburn–Opelika

Natural Pain Relief & Healing Without Drugs or Surgery – Dr. Gordon Fimreite, DC

If you’ve been dealing with stubborn pain from chronic conditions or sports injuries, Shockwave Therapy might be the solution you’ve been searching for. At Dr. Fimreite Chiropractic in Auburn–Opelika, we offer this cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment to help your body heal naturally—without drugs or surgery.

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-surgical treatment that uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. These waves increase blood flow, break down scar tissue and calcification, stimulate collagen production, and desensitize nerve endings to reduce pain.

How Does It Work?

Shockwave therapy uses a handheld device that delivers focused sound pulses into the injured area. These pulses:

• Increase blood circulation (angiogenesis)
• Stimulate the body's natural healing response
• Reduce inflammation and pain
• Break up scar tissue and calcification
• Encourage new collagen and connective tissue growth

Each session lasts 10–20 minutes and most patients experience only mild tapping or pulsing during treatment.

Conditions Shockwave Therapy Helps

• Plantar fasciitis
• Achilles tendinopathy
• Tennis and golfer’s elbow
• Rotator cuff injuries
• Shin splints and stress fractures
• Patellar and hamstring tendinopathy
• Hip pain and bursitis

Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

• ✅ Non-invasive with no downtime
• ✅ Fast, effective pain relief
• ✅ Stimulates healing naturally
• ✅ Reduces need for medications or injections
• ✅ Often works when other treatments don’t

Are There Any Risks?

Shockwave Therapy is generally very safe. Some patients may experience mild discomfort during or after treatment, and occasional temporary swelling, bruising, or redness. It is not recommended for patients who are pregnant, have bleeding disorders, or infections in the treatment area. A full evaluation is done beforehand to ensure it’s appropriate for you.

What to Expect During Treatment

• Personalized consultation and evaluation
• Application of the shockwave device to pain points
• 10–20 minute session with no recovery time
• Return to daily activities immediately
• No needles, no surgery, no long recovery
