Shockwave Therapy, Laser and E-Stim in Tustin

Supportive therapies at Heem Health are designed to complement chiropractic care and support recovery between visits. These services focus on soft tissue health, neuromuscular regulation, and mobility, and are integrated into care plans when clinically appropriate. Each one is used within a coordinated chiropractic care plan.

Shockwave Therapy (EMS DolorClast)

Shockwave Therapy (EMS DolorClast)

EMS DolorClast shockwave therapy delivers acoustic pressure waves into a targeted area of tendon or soft tissue. It is commonly used for stubborn tendon and soft-tissue problems that have been slow to settle, such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles and other tendinopathies, and elbow or shoulder tendon pain.

Sessions are brief and done in the clinic. Most people feel a strong tapping during treatment, and the intensity can be adjusted. Shockwave is usually given as a series of sessions, and it is added to your plan when your evaluation shows it fits the problem.

Laser Therapy

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy applies focused light to painful muscles, tendons and joints. It involves no drugs or needles, and most people feel gentle warmth or nothing at all. It is used to support comfort and tissue recovery alongside adjustments and exercise.

Electrical Stimulation (E-Stim)

Electrical Stimulation (E-Stim)

E-stim sends a mild electrical current through pads placed on the skin. Depending on the setting, it is used to ease pain or to make tight muscles contract and relax. It is often paired with heat or ice and used before or after an adjustment.

Shockwave, Laser and E-Stim FAQs

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy, also called extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), uses acoustic pressure waves delivered through the skin to a painful area. It is used for chronic tendon and soft-tissue conditions that have been slow to settle with rest and time. Heem Health uses the EMS DolorClast system as part of chiropractic care in Tustin.

Does Shockwave Therapy Hurt?

Shockwave feels like strong, rapid tapping over the treated area, and many people find it uncomfortable for part of the session. The intensity can be adjusted as you go. Some soreness in the area for a day or two afterward is common.

How Many Shockwave Sessions Will I Need?

It depends on the condition, how long you have had it and how you respond. Shockwave is usually given as a series of sessions spread over several weeks rather than as a single treatment. Your plan and the number of sessions are set after your evaluation.

Is Shockwave Therapy Covered by Insurance?

Coverage for shockwave therapy varies by plan and by condition, and some plans do not cover it. Check with your plan before you start. Our guide to shockwave therapy cost explains what affects the price, and our insurance and cost page covers how to check your plan.

What Is Laser Therapy Used For?

Laser therapy is used for muscle, tendon and joint pain, to support comfort and tissue recovery. At Heem Health it is one part of a chiropractic care plan and is chosen when your evaluation suggests it will help. It involves no drugs or needles.

What Is E-Stim?

E-stim, short for electrical stimulation, sends a mild electrical current through pads on the skin. Some settings target pain signals and others make muscles contract and relax. It usually feels like tingling or pulsing, and the strength is set to what you find comfortable.
