Visit Dr. JC at 11520 St. Charles Rock Rd, Suite 104, Bridgeton, MO 63044. For same-day availability or questions about evaluation fees, call (636) 393-8390. You can also request an evaluation online; the office will confirm your time.
Start With an Evaluation
Shockwave therapy uses acoustic energy delivered through the skin to a selected area. It may be considered for certain persistent tendon complaints when an examination supports that approach.
Tell Dr. JC what hurts, what activities are difficult, and what care you have already tried. The appointment is a chance to decide whether shockwave, another approach, or a referral makes sense. It is not a commitment to a package.
Evidence Depends on the Condition
Results vary with the diagnosis, device, and treatment protocol. We do not promise that shockwave will remove a bone spur, repair a tear, cure chronic pain, or replace a recommended medical or surgical assessment.
NICE's guidance on persistent plantar fasciitis describes inconsistent evidence of benefit. That is a reason to discuss uncertainty and track your response, rather than promise a result based on a testimonial or an online questionnaire.
What a Session May Involve
If treatment is appropriate, Dr. JC explains the area being treated, the device and settings, possible discomfort, and alternatives. You can ask to pause or stop. The plan may also include an exercise or activity recommendation.
Changes in symptoms and function guide follow-up. A three- or six-session pricing option is not a prediction of how many treatments you need. There is no automatic recommendation to buy more visits if you are not improving.
Safety and Aftercare
Treatment can cause pain, redness, bruising, or swelling. Tell the office about pregnancy, blood-thinning medication, bleeding problems, recent injections or surgery, cancer, infection, wounds, or other medical concerns before treatment. Suitability depends on the location and proposed protocol.
Follow the activity advice agreed for your condition, and contact the office about unexpected or worsening symptoms. Sudden weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, severe trauma, or other urgent symptoms need medical assessment, not a shockwave appointment.
Questions Before Your Visit
The $49 introductory price covers your first shockwave treatment only, when clinically appropriate. It does not include the evaluation, which is charged separately. Call the office to confirm the evaluation fee and total first-visit cost before booking. Regular treatment and package prices are listed above.
No. Request an appointment time first, then complete the signed intake forms before your visit. The office will contact you to confirm the time. The $49 first shockwave treatment and the separately charged evaluation remain separate services.
It may be discussed for persistent heel pain after an examination and review of prior care. Evidence is mixed, and benefit is not assured. Exercise, footwear changes, or another treatment may be appropriate instead.
That cannot be determined by a short online quiz. Recommendations depend on the diagnosis and your response, with reassessment along the way. A package size is a pricing option, not a clinical prescription.
The office currently lists shockwave as self-pay. Do not assume that chiropractic coverage includes it. Discuss the applicable fee, any coverage questions, and separate evaluation charges before deciding.
It is not risk-free. Pressure or discomfort can occur during treatment, with possible soreness, redness, bruising, or swelling afterward. The proposed protocol and your medical history should be reviewed before consent.
They deliver energy differently, and results depend on the condition and protocol. Ask which technology will be used and why it fits your diagnosis. Neither is the best choice for every patient.
Same-day appointments are often available. Call (636) 393-8390 to confirm before coming in. An evaluation does not guarantee that shockwave will be recommended that day.
