Shockwave Therapy - San Clemente, CA
Non-Invasive Pain Relief, Right Next Door
If you're a San Clemente resident dealing with chronic pain, soft tissue injuries, or tendon conditions, Resolve Chiropractic is here to help. Just a short drive from downtown San Clemente, our clinic offers FDA-cleared radial shockwave therapy - a research-backed treatment designed to reduce pain, restore mobility, and accelerate healing.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy (EPAT) is a non-surgical treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to target damaged tissue. These waves increase blood circulation, break up scar tissue, and trigger the body’s natural healing processes. It’s a safe, effective option for those who haven’t responded to traditional chiropractic care or physical therapy.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
We use a device from Storz Medical, a global leader in shockwave technology. This advanced equipment delivers acoustic pulses directly to the affected area. Most treatments last around 10-15 minutes, and patients typically feel minimal discomfort - described as a light tapping sensation.

Most patients report minimal discomfort during shockwave therapy, often described as a sensation similar to mild tapping. Treatments typically last about 10-15 minutes.

Most conditions respond well within 3-6 sessions, spaced approximately one week apart. Your specific treatment plan will be tailored to your condition and individual needs.

Insurance typically does not cover the EPAT® procedure, however, the self payment option allows you to have all the benefits of a shockwave procedure at a very affordable price. Often there can be significant savings to you through the self-pay option as compared to paying deductibles, multiple co-pays, and other non-insurance covered surgery, post operative surgical care and rehabilitation. This non-invasive option will be particularly appealing to those patients who are eager to return to work or normal activities in only a few days with just as good, if not better, clinical results compared to traditional treatment methods, including surgery.
