“I no longer need other treatments!”

“I have struggled with neck and shoulder pain for many years and tried different treatments like therapy, massage, and acupuncture.

Nothing gave me lasting relief until I found Precision Chiropractic. After seeing Dr. Matt Westheimer, I no longer need other treatments.

The results have been amazing! I highly recommend Precision Chiropractic to anyone looking for effective care. I’ve already shared my positive experience with friends and family.”

Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for common chronic conditions that haven’t responded to traditional treatment, such as:

  • Chronic lower back pain
  • Shin splints and stress fractures
  • Trigger points & myofascial pain
  • Calcific deposits in tendons
  • Scar tissue and adhesions
  • Sports injuries that won’t heal

Studies demonstrate that non-surgical treatment for tendon and joint pain using shockwave therapy significantly improves outcomes across multiple musculoskeletal disorders.

“My nerve pain is completely gone”

“I wasn’t sure how I felt about chiropractors before I started going to Precision and now I’m telling everyone I know they need to get adjusted!!

I was going to physical therapy weekly for years and hit a plateau and was referred to Matt and Jen and I can’t believe the progress I’ve made!

My nerve pain is completely gone, and I’ve noticed my posture is getting much better! I’ll recommend Precision over and over! Plus it doesn’t hurt to have such a cute office manager 🐶”

What to Expect During Your StemWave Treatment

Shockwave therapy sessions are quick, non-invasive, and performed right in our Matthews clinic

1. Initial Evaluation

During your complimentary consultation, we assess your condition and determine if shockwave therapy is right for you. We explain exactly how the treatment works and create a customized plan based on your specific injury or condition.

2. Treatment Sessions

Each visit averages around 10-15 minutes. At the time of the treatment, a gel is applied to your skin. The StemWave applicator is applied to the treatment area delivering focused waves. This treatment is non-invasive and does not require anesthesia or numbing creams.

3. Recovery & Results

Care plans commonly range between 8-12 sessions. Patients typically experience significant improvement after 3-4 treatments, however, we often see a noticeable improvement after the first treatment. There’s no downtime—you can return to normal activities immediately.

Exclusive to Precision: The Rebuilding Series

Did you know we’ve developed comprehensive “Rebuilding Series” protocols that go far beyond shockwave therapy treatment itself?

When you receive StemWave therapy, whether for your knee, shoulder, hip, wrist, lower back, neck, or foot, you get a complete recovery program tailored to that specific area.

Each protocol includes specialized recovery tools (like knee braces, voodoo floss bands, and foam rollers) along with prescribed exercises designed to support and accelerate healing.

This systematic approach ensures you have everything you need to actively participate in your recovery.

I have always been kind of apprehensive about chiropractic care. That said, my back had been hurting for so long that I decided to jump in with the folks at Precision Chiropractic. Dr. Matt is so friendly and cool. He explains what's going on with your frame and creates an action plan to get you back to where you need to be. The office staff, Jen and Steph, are also incredibly comforting and friendly. If this ain't a full-throated recommendation to try Precision, then I don't know what could be!

Found the clinic specifically for their shockwave/stemwave therapy to help my heel pain. Through a thorough exam (X-rays and visible tests) turns out I also have some alignment issues. The office is welcoming, knows everyone, super clean and such a refreshing part of my week! I’m already seeing improvements and love that whatever question or challenge I bring up Dr. Matt and team are always open to answering in the most educational ways! Highly recommend.

When I saw the message on Facebook, I thought, "This guy is going to help me," because I was already losing hope! I had made numerous trips to hospitals, but they never found anything; they just prescribed strong painkillers that didn't help at all. When I arrived at the clinic, I was warmly welcomed by everyone. Today—while still undergoing treatment—I feel better and better; I can even see a huge improvement in my brain function—I see things more clearly and can handle daily challenges! I am so grateful to everyone! P.S. I fell down a flight of stairs, and the damage to my spine was severe!

Skeptical and nervous I made an initial appointment with Dr. Matt at the urging of a trusted health professional. When I walked into the office, I began to relax when Jen, Krista, and Stephanie greeted me by name. That was the beginning of my healing journey--lower back, hip and neck pain from an old injury. Every adjustment was explained thoroughly and executed gently by Dr. Matt. Decompression was administered with great care. This week I was able to hike 12 miles pain free, something I could not do just a few weeks ago. I'll return to the pickleball court soon. This team is kind, concerned, and highly professional. They even know my dog's name! Call them for your chiropractic care

Your Shockwave Therapy Questions, Answered

Here are the answers to questions we hear every day in our Matthews clinic

StemWave therapy is a drug-free and non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to penetrate deep tissue. It reduces inflammation and promotes healing by encouraging increased blood flow to localized areas of concern. 

Most patients experience mild discomfort during treatment, similar to deep tissue massage. The intensity can be adjusted based on your tolerance. Any soreness typically fades within 24-48 hours. Unlike injections or surgery, there’s no significant pain or recovery period—you can return to normal activities immediately after your session.
Most patients need 3-6 sessions spaced one week apart, depending on the severity and chronicity of their condition. Many notice improvement after the first treatment, with continued healing over the following weeks. We’ll create a customized treatment plan during your initial evaluation and adjust based on your progress.
Coverage varies by insurance plan and condition. Shockwave therapy is FDA-approved for plantar fasciitis and lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), which may improve insurance coverage for these conditions. We’ll verify your benefits and discuss all payment options during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
Shockwave therapy stimulates your body’s natural healing process rather than masking pain or requiring invasive procedures. Unlike steroid injections that provide temporary relief and may weaken tissue over time, shockwave therapy promotes actual tissue regeneration. Research shows it’s often more effective than injections or surgery for chronic tendon and joint conditions—without the risks, downtime, or side effects.
