When you have chronic pain, it can affect everything you do in your life. Having daily pain is no way to live, especially when the pain is in an unavoidable area. At Hifai Chiropractic, we offer a non-invasive therapy to help you recover from injuries and quickly overcome related pain. Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a safe treatment alternative to surgery and may benefit patients who had no success with traditional treatment approaches. Shockwave Therapy may help improve the following:
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) has been a physical therapy modality for 20 years. Professional athletes in respected organizations like the NBA plagued by injuries have received ESWT and recovered with great success for many years. This therapy effectively treats sports injuries, tendon injuries, ligament injuries, muscle pain, and other soft tissue injuries.
Shockwave Therapy is a trigger point treatment that uses acoustic waves or shockwaves to induce microtrauma to injured tissues. The microtraumas stimulate repair processes, like neovascularization, which is the formation of new blood vessels. Neovascularization helps increase blood flow to damaged tissues, deliver essential nutrients for healing, and relieve pain symptoms.
So, get started relieving your injury-related pain and accelerating your recovery by scheduling a consultation at Hifai Chiropractic in San Diego for Shockwave Therapy.
Approximately 5 months before I saw Dr Hifai, I injured the hamstring on my right leg, the same leg I had a total knee replacement on the year before. When physical therapy and a cortisone shot didn’t work, I went back to my pain management Dr and asked him what else he would recommend. He suggested I try shock wave therapy. After speaking with 8 other chiropractors, I spoke with Dr Hifai, who was the only one who took the time to ask me questions, and to explain the procedure with me. Prior to seeing Dr Hifai, walking was painful, especially when walking my dog, mainly because because I had to bend slightly forward and change my gait to lessen the pain in my hamstring and knee, which was also affected. My first session with Dr Hifai, she used shock wave therapy, tens, and cold laser treatments. After that first session I noticed a huge improvement. The following morning when walking my dog, I was able to stand up straight and walk with the shooting pains I had experienced previously. She was also able to alleviate neck pain that I had for quite some time. I highly recommend Dr Hifai to anyone looking for quality, caring, chiropractic treatment.

Amazing office and quality of care. Very pleased with Dr Hifai's professionalism and the time she spent with me. This was my first time being adjusted so I was nervous going in. After my adjustment I felt much better and even suggested Dr Hifai should wear a cape as she is now my superhero!! Thank you Dr Hifai. I highly suggest anyone who needs back care to visit Dr Hifai and her staff. Cheers!

I was referred to Dr. Hifai by my former Sr. Office Manager Lori Correl & one of the former Computer Professor Maria Reyes, they both told me to go & let her help me with my numerous pains back in 2008. Today, I am going in for another treatment for Sciatica, the last time I went in over a week ago, the pain had stop. I over did myself by walking in heels at Balboa Park & the pain return... I am buying walking shoes... she is excellent

I came to Dr. Hifai with bad back pain due to an s curve in my spine. Doing basic house work was a struggle. She did a great job explaining my situation to me , and set out a few different recommended treatments and after Following her plan I have been pain free for the most part. I’m able to do house work with and day to day things out issues. She is great at targeting my problem areas. I have been to several chiropractors and she has been the best!

I’m a retired Hospital CEO with lower back pain for years now. I had trouble sitting, bending, lifting. I had two treatments by Dr Hifai and I’m pain free, I can bend, lift, golf, I only wish I had started this treatment sooner...
