Piezowave2 Shockwave Therapy in Raleigh, NC

What is Piezowave2 shockwave therapy?

Piezowave2 is a form of shockwave therapy: focused acoustic pressure waves applied through the skin to painful soft tissue. It is used at Raleigh Chiropractic & Wellness for soft tissue and tendon-related complaints: the kind of stubborn, localized pain that is tender to press on and flares with activity, such as tendinitis and wrist, elbow, and arm pain.

Common symptoms

A specific tender spot you can point to; pain that flares with use and eases with rest but never fully leaves; tendon or soft tissue pain that has lingered for weeks or months; and pain that has not resolved with rest alone.

How Dr. Hoehle evaluates it

A consultation and physical exam with orthopedic testing and range of motion assessment. The exam localizes the tissue responsible for the pain and confirms whether Piezowave2 is an appropriate option for your case.

Treatment approaches we may consider

Piezowave2 shockwave therapy, applied directly to the affected tissue. Depending on your case, it may be part of a broader plan that includes chiropractic care for related joint problems.

Two honest answers to the questions patients ask most. Comfort: the treatment is applied at an intensity set for you, and the tender spot itself may be sensitive as the applicator works over it; that is normal and the level is adjusted so it stays tolerable. Durability: results vary by condition and patient, and no honest provider promises they will last forever; the aim of the therapy is meaningful, lasting improvement in the treated tissue, and Dr. Hoehle tracks your response rather than assuming it.

Who is (and who is not) a good candidate

Candidates are patients with localized soft tissue or tendon pain confirmed on exam. Piezowave2 is not used for anyone who has had a cortisone shot in the treatment area within the last two weeks, or anyone with cancer in the treatment area. Tell Dr. Hoehle about recent injections and your health history before treatment begins.

What to expect at your first visit

Consultation, exam with orthopedic and range-of-motion testing, and, if Piezowave2 is appropriate, treatment of the affected area. Dr. Hoehle explains what he found and what to expect from the therapy before starting.

Visit length and course of care

The number of treatments varies by condition and patient; the office does not promise a count. Dr. Hoehle sets expectations after your exam and adjusts based on how the tissue responds.

Insurance and payment

Benefits verified before care begins; participation varies by plan. Auto accident, personal injury, and workers’ compensation cases accepted. Cards, cash, check, CareCredit, HSA/FSA, and in-house payment plans; self-pay pricing on request.

When to seek urgent medical care

Seek medical care first, rather than shockwave therapy, for pain following an injury that could involve a broken bone, a hot, swollen, red area that could be infected, or any unexplained mass or lump. These need medical evaluation before any soft tissue therapy.

Quick questions

The treated spot may feel sensitive during the session; that tenderness is part of how the therapy targets the right tissue, but the intensity is set per patient and adjusted so it stays tolerable.
Sessions treat a focused area; your overall course of care depends on the condition and your response, which Dr. Hoehle outlines after the exam.
It varies by condition and patient, so the office does not promise a number. Expectations are set individually after your evaluation.
