Care Plans For Laser, Shockwave & Spinal Decompression at Sunbury
Research generally shows that "energy-based" therapies (Laser/Shockwave) and "mechanical" therapies (Decompression) require a cumulative effect to create long-term tissue change.
Here are three research-based package designs for your Sunbury and Melton clinics.
-
1. The "Tissue Regeneration" Laser Therapy Package
-
Target: Tendonitis, inflammation, and deep tissue healing
-
The Research: Most clinical studies on Class IV Laser Therapy (Photobiomodulation) for musculoskeletal pain show optimal results with 2 sessions per week for 3–4 weeks
-
Tissues need a consistent "dose" of light energy to maintain the cellular ATP production required for healing
-
The Package: 5 Sessions over 3 Weeks.
-
Price Point : $70
Health Wise Chiropractic Pack Price For Laser
One Laser Therapy Pack of 5 sessions -$280
-
The "Chronic Reset" Shockwave Therapy Package
-
Target: Plantar Fasciitis, Calcific Tendonitis, and Tennis Elbow.
-
The Research: Shockwave (ESWT) is unique because it is an "irritant" therapy. Most high-level research (such as for Plantar Fasciitis) suggests that 3 to 5 sessions, spaced 7 days apart, is the "Sweet Spot." Doing it more frequently can actually interrupt the inflammatory healing response the machine is trying to create
The Package: 5-Session "Foundational" Pack
-
Price Point : $80 per session
-
Health Wise Chiropractic Shockwave 5 Pack
-
Our Price $320
-
The "Disc Restoration" Spinal Decompression Package
-
Target: Herniated discs, Sciatica, and Degenerative Disc Disease.
-
The Research: Research into Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (like the HillDT or similar protocols) suggests a more intensive "loading" phase.
-
A common successful protocol is 20 sessions—initially daily or 3x per week—to create the negative intradiscal pressure needed to "retract" disc material and rehydrate the joint.
