Acoustic wave therapy applied to a patient's knee at the ChiroMed clinic

OmniwaveAcoustic pressure, delivered at the exact tissue the exam found

Medically reviewed by Dr. Justin Bergin, DC Updated September 10, 2026

What shockwave therapy actually does

Shockwave therapy sends focused acoustic pressure waves through the skin into a specific tissue target. There is no incision, no injection and no anesthesia. The applicator is placed over the area the exam identified, and the pulses are delivered in a short in-office session.

At ChiroMed the device is Omniwave, used two ways: on joints and soft tissue, and on the sexual wellness line. Naming the hardware matters, because "shockwave" covers several very different machines and protocols. For general background on tendon and soft-tissue conditions, MedlinePlus maintains a plain-language overview of tendinitis from the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

Conditions we treat with it

Shockwave is the primary tool where a joint or tendon has stopped tolerating load, and a supporting tool across a longer list.

Cost, insurance and financing

Shockwave therapy is a self-pay program at ChiroMed. There is no published per-session price, so here is what actually moves the number and what a course includes.

The one published price

Consultation, Exam, X-Rays (If Needed) and Report of Findings, Only $47

What moves the cost

How many regions are being treated
Whether the plan pairs shockwave with decompression, laser or soft tissue work
How long the tissue has been symptomatic
Whether imaging is needed to set the plan

What a course includes

The examination and report of findings
The in-office sessions themselves
Home movement guidance between sessions
Reassessment as the plan progresses

Payment: Self-pay. Chiropractic care at ChiroMed bills insurance; the regenerative programs, including this one, do not. Payment plans are available.

What it does	Acoustic pressure waves delivered through the skin at the tissue	Low-level light applied to the tissue	An injected medication placed at the pain source	Operative repair or joint replacement
Invasiveness	None. No incision, no injection, no anesthesia	None	Needle-based procedure	Major surgery

Honest closer: surgery and injections both have a real place. If the exam points that way, you are told at the exam and referred.

Is shockwave right for someone like you?

Candidacy is decided at the examination, not on a web page. These are the general lines.

Likely a good candidate if

A shoulder, hip, knee, TMJ or foot problem that has lasted longer than a few weeks
Tendon or ligament tissue that has not settled with rest
You want to avoid an injection or an operation if a conservative route exists
You can attend a short in-office session more than once
You are comfortable with a self-pay program

An honest evaluation, either way

We will point you elsewhere if

You are pregnant
You have a bleeding disorder or are on anticoagulant therapy
There is an active infection, an open wound or a tumour over the treatment area
The area has been recently injected with a corticosteroid
A red-flag finding at the exam calls for imaging or a medical referral first

When we’re not the right answer, we say so , and connect you with someone who is.

Not sure? That is exactly what the examination answers

Your first visit

What to expect, step by step

History and conversation

What hurts, when it started, what makes it worse, and what you want to get back to doing.

Exam and imaging

Orthopedic and neurological testing, with digital X-ray on site when it changes the plan.

Findings explained

You see your own images and hear what they mean, including whether shockwave is the right answer for you at all.

The plan and the cost

An adjustment that is not aimed at a specific finding is just noise. We treat what the exam and the X-ray tell us to treat.

“I have had sich a great experience seeing Dr. Bergin. When other offices have told me I just had muscle damage or the only thing they could do for me was give shots, he said he had others ways to manage my pain and numbness, along with improving mobility. And he was right! I feel so much better!”

Lakeland

“I have had pain in my right upper back quadrant by my shoulder blade for at least a year now and the doctors have been unsuccessful in making the pain go away. I came to Dr. Bergin looking for some help. Within 3 to 4 weeks. My pain in that area is completely gone.”

Lakeland

“Dr. Bergin is phenomenal. Chronic lower back issues led a different doctor to mention back surgery to me. That was not an option I wanted to entertain. After a consult with Dr. B, he was confident that he could help resolve my back issues. I’ve been seeing him weekly to resolve the issue, and I am so pleased with the results so far! More mobility, less pain, and a great customer experience.”

The Villages

“I bless the day that Dr. Bergin started working on me. I have had long standing pain for so long. After just a few visits my pain left and I feel so good. He is very patient oriented and caring. I regard him highly.”

Lakeland

“Dr. Bergin was instrumental in relieving my back pain which I had for many years. The techniques he used on relieving my back pain were impressive. I been going to chiropractors for years and Dr. Bergin is the best.”
