Lower back pain (lumbago)

Up to 12 treatments

Lower back pain is very common in adults. It usually comes from a strained muscle or a sprained ligament. Common causes include improper lifting, poor posture, lack of regular exercise, a fracture, a ruptured disc, or arthritis.

I've had severe lower back pain for many years. Wave It Away has reduced my pain level by at least 90% and I still have 3 more treatments scheduled. 99% less pain equals 200% improved quality of life. Definitely worth it!

I had a trigger, maybe scar tissue; it used to lock up; now it hardly ever happens! Now I can side bend and rotate without fear of locking up and being taken down for days. This was the best money I ever spent; it worked like a charm for me!

Hello, my name is Mike. I am 71 years old and have been a farmer all of my life and have not even had any low back issues until recently. My back pain started early one morning and after a couple of hours of work, it had progressed to the point that I knew that I had to quit. As I finished my project, I discovered that it was going to be very difficult to dismount the tractor because it was very painful no matter which direction I tried to turn or twist. After a couple of days stretched out on the couch, I made a trip to the family doctor to receive a prescription for muscle relaxers and some stretch exercises which yielded little relief. I even tried pain patches on my back. The next attempt for relief was a couple of visits to the chiropractor. The relief was minimal and short-lived.
Then I found Wave It Away! I had relief after the first treatment and the relief got better with each treatment and it lasted. After a few “painless” treatments, my back issue is gone and I'm functioning as usual in a new crop year on the farm. I'M CONVINCED!!

Upper back pain

Typically 6 to 12 treatments

Upper back pain often comes from a strained muscle or tendon. It can also be part of a longer-term inflammatory condition, as it was for the patient below.

Hi! My name is Angie Frye, and I'm 45 years old. I am a wife, mother of 3 and teacher. I would like to share my successes with Wave It Away. About 3 years ago, after having symptoms for approximately 3 years, I was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis. This inflammatory disease can have many issues, but one issue I had daily was waking up with upper back pain. Since treatment around the neck area and upper back, this daily discomfort no longer exists. I have gone from dreading bedtime because I knew the pain that awaited me in the morning to waking up literally pain free!

Back spasms and muscle strains

Some patients come to us after years of a back that “goes out” every few months. One patient hurt his back in 2010 and was told he had a pulled muscle. About every two to three months he would pull it again and be down for two days, and that went on for ten years. After treatment with the DuoLith, his pain was gone, and twenty-two months later he reported no additional pain.

I have had intermittent, chronic, low back spasms due to a weightlifting injury, years ago. The shockwave treatments have greatly reduced the pain and discomfort. Much fewer episodes of low back spasm. Much less severe when they happen. One of the best investments of my money ever.

Tailbone pain

Pain at the base of the spine can last for years and be hard to treat.

I had great success with the techniques used by Wave It Away. I had severe tailbone pain for years, had been through CT scans, X-rays, painful shots, chiropractic treatments and a lot of money spent that ended with no results. I received several treatments at Wave It Away and the pain is nearly gone. Go check out Stephen and his friendly office staff and you will not regret it. It adds so much quality of life and I'm so glad I visited them!

How treatment works

Focused shockwave therapy

Focused shockwave therapy sends short pulses of acoustic energy into an injured tendon, muscle, or other soft tissue. The goal is to increase blood flow and support healing in an area that has stopped improving on its own. We use the Storz Medical DuoLith SD1.

There is no surgery, no anesthesia, and no injection. Most patients feel a tingling or tapping sensation during the session, and our nurse adjusts the energy for your comfort. You can go back to work or your normal routine right after.

Visit lengthAbout 30 minutes

How often1 or 2 visits a week

Before you start

Shockwave therapy is not right for everyone. We do not treat people who are pregnant, have hemophilia, have had steroid injections in the last six weeks, or are still growing (incomplete bone growth). We will ask about your health and medicines, and a licensed physician reviews your answers before treatment.

Shockwave treatment works by encouraging a healing response, so we may ask you to avoid anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen during your treatment course. Do not stop any prescribed medicine without talking to your doctor first.

About FDA status. The Storz DuoLith SD1 is FDA approved for heel pain from chronic plantar fasciitis in adults who have tried other conservative treatments for at least six months. Using it for other conditions is considered off-label. Our medical director reviews your health history before treatment, and results vary from person to person.
