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. 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.

Compare your options
Real alternatives exist for every one of these problems, including ones this practice does not perform. Here is the honest set.
| Criteria | Our approachOmniwave shockwave | Cold laser therapy | Injection | Surgery |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| Downtime | None. You drive yourself home | None | Short, per your prescriber | Weeks to months of recovery |
| Typical course | A defined plan set at the exam, never sold in advance | Usually alongside another therapy | Repeated rounds, capped per year | One procedure plus rehabilitation |
| Offered at ChiroMed? | Yes | Yes | No. We refer, and say when it is the right call | No. We refer, and say when it is the right call |
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
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.

“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
