Breakthrough Technology for Stubborn Pain

At Lamb Chiropractic in Midtown Manhattan, we combine chiropractic care with advanced healing technologies to help your body recover naturally. One of our most effective tools is Radial Shockwave Therapy.

Radial Shockwave Therapy uses high-energy sound waves (not electrical shocks) to stimulate circulation, break up scar tissue, and trigger the body’s natural healing response. It is especially effective for chronic pain and stubborn injuries that haven’t improved with other treatments.

This safe, non-invasive and drug-free therapy accelerates recovery, reduces pain, and restores function, making it a powerful partner to chiropractic adjustments and other hands-on care.

How long does a session take?

Most sessions take just 5 – 10 minutes per area.

How many sessions will I need?

Chronic issues often improve after 3 – 6 sessions, spaced about a week apart. Some patients feel relief after just 1 – 2 visits.

Is it safe?

Yes. Shockwave therapy is FDA-cleared, non-invasive, and widely used in orthopedics, sports medicine, and chiropractic care.

We don’t use a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Our office has multiple types of cold lasers, and we customize the frequency and intensity settings depending on whether we are treating inflammation, nerve irritation, joint pain, or sports injuries.
