Shockwave therapy in Fargo
Shockwave therapy is one tool MRC may use for selected tendon and soft tissue problems. It is not a blanket treatment for every ache. The visit starts with an evaluation to decide whether shockwave, manual care, exercise prescription, or another path makes the most sense.
Paired with loading strategy
Tissue problems often need more than passive treatment. Shockwave may be paired with a loading plan, mobility work, or activity modification so the tissue has a better path forward.
Transparent expectations
MRC will explain what the treatment feels like, how many visits may be considered, and what signs would lead the plan to change.
