Direct answer
Is this website medical advice?
No. All content on dunwoodyshockwave.com is general patient education. It is not medical advice, not a diagnosis, and not a treatment recommendation for any individual. Reading this site, submitting a form, or taking the candidate quiz does not create a doctor-patient relationship with Compass Family Chiropractic or anyone else.
Only an in-person evaluation by a qualified provider can determine what is causing your symptoms and whether any treatment, including SoftWave or shockwave therapy, is appropriate for you. Individual results vary, and no outcome is promised or guaranteed.
Do not delay seeking medical care, and do not disregard advice from your own provider, because of something you read here. Never stop or change prescribed treatment based on this website.
Descriptions of research on this site summarise published studies. Findings from one study, one device type, or one condition do not necessarily apply to your situation.
Do not submit detailed medical history, diagnoses or other sensitive health information through forms or text messages on this site. Contact the clinic directly to discuss your specific condition.
Seek prompt medical care if you have
- Sudden severe pain following a fall, collision or other trauma
- Inability to bear weight, or an obviously deformed joint or limb
- Fever, redness and swelling in a joint
- Numbness, tingling or weakness that is spreading or worsening
- Loss of bladder or bowel control, or numbness around the groin
- Unexplained weight loss, night pain that wakes you, or a history of cancer with new pain
