Non-surgical treatment for stubborn pain, faster recovery, and improved movement
If you’re dealing with something that just isn’t improving — tight muscle, tendon pain, or an old injury that keeps hanging around — Shockwave Therapy is one of the most effective tools used at Hausman Chiropractic.
Used for both pain relief and performance, this treatment helps active people recover faster and get back to doing what they enjoy.
What this is (simple explanation):
Shockwave Therapy uses targeted energy to stimulate healing in irritated or injured tissue.
In plain terms:
– It helps the body stop spinning its wheels and actually move forward.
This is a non-surgical treatment designed to activate the body’s natural healing response.
No injections. No medications. No downtime.

What this is (clinical explanation):
Radial Shockwave Therapy delivers high-frequency acoustic waves into soft tissue.
This creates a mechanical stimulus that:
- increases local blood flow
- promotes cellular activity
- helps disrupt chronic, non-healing patterns
It is commonly used for conditions that have become persistent or resistant to traditional care.
Conditions treated with Shockwave Therapy
Dr. Hausman commonly uses Shockwave Therapy for:
- Plantar fasciitis treatment in Austin
- Achilles tendon pain
- Shoulder pain and rotator cuff irritation
- Tennis elbow / golfer’s elbow
- Hip pain and tightness (including sciatica-type symptoms)
- Chronic muscle knots and trigger points
- Trapezius muscle tightness
- Hamstring, quad, and calf strains that won’t fully resolve
If it feels like something that should have healed by now but hasn’t, this is often a strong option.
Why Shockwave Therapy works:
When tissue gets stuck in a low-grade, irritated state, it often stops progressing.
Shockwave Therapy helps:
- restart circulation
- reduce sensitivity in the area
- stimulate a healing response
The goal is to address the underlying tissue issue — not just temporarily reduce symptoms.
Who this is for:
This treatment is especially helpful for:
- active individuals
- runners and gym-goers
- people who want to stay moving without being sidelined by pain
It’s also a great option for those looking for a non-surgical alternative to injections or more aggressive treatments.
Why patients choose Dr. Hausman:
Many clinics offer Shockwave Therapy.
In most cases, the treatment is performed by a technician.
At Hausman Chiropractic, every session is performed by Dr. Hausman — a chiropractor with over 17 years of hands-on experience treating soft tissue and joint conditions.
Treatment is adjusted in real time based on what is felt in the body, including:
- depth
- pressure
- exact location
That level of specificity is what makes the difference.
What a visit looks like:
- A focused evaluation to identify the target area
- 5–10 minutes of treatment
- Can be combined with chiropractic care or movement guidance if appropriate
- No downtime — patients return to normal activity immediately
Most patients begin to notice changes within a few visits.
Treatment Plans
Shockwave Therapy works best as a short, focused series. Most treatment plans consist of 4, 6, or 10 visits, depending on chronicity, location, and severity. Maintenance visits may be effective after a course of care, at the discretion of Dr. Hausman.
What patients are saying
After the second treatment, I could already feel things loosening up. By the end, the stiffness in my ankle and leg was gone, movement was much better, and I could wear closed-heel shoes comfortably again.” – PR
The tightness and range of motion both improved. Pain during activities dropped from about a 5/10 to a 2–3/10. It’s not completely gone, but it’s clearly better and still improving after only 3 visits” – PM
I had a lingering shoulder injury for over 8 months and couldn’t get past about 85%. After a short series of treatments, I noticed improvements each time — and a few weeks later, the pain was completely gone.” – CT
I’d been dealing with plantar fasciitis for over 6 months and couldn’t get it under control — every workout would flare it up. After a series of treatments, about 90% of the pain is gone, and it doesn’t get aggravated anymore, even with running and CrossFit.” – RW
Results vary, but most patients notice meaningful improvement within a short series of treatments.
