Understanding the Treatment
What is HydroWave Therapy?
HydroWave is a form of extracorporeal shockwave therapy, often shortened to ESWT. “Extracorporeal” means outside the body: a handheld applicator delivers acoustic waves through the skin to the selected area. It is a sound-wave treatment, rather than a chiropractic adjustment or an electrical stimulation treatment.
The goal is to support more comfortable movement by addressing selected musculoskeletal concerns. Shockwave therapy is used in the care of certain tendon and soft-tissue conditions; the response depends on the condition, treatment plan, and individual patient.
At Kennesaw Health and Wellness, the starting point is an evaluation. We’ll explain what we recommend, why it may fit your situation, and how we will assess your response. HydroWave can be considered alongside other care when appropriate.
The treatment does not involve surgical incisions or treatment injections. It is not appropriate for every diagnosis, and results vary.
Identify the area
Your symptoms and evaluation help guide where treatment may be appropriate.
Deliver acoustic waves
The applicator is placed against the skin to deliver waves to the selected treatment area.
Review your response
Your comfort, movement, and progress help guide follow-up recommendations.
Start With the Source of Your Discomfort
Could HydroWave fit your needs?
Our HydroWave consultations give you a place to discuss persistent or recurring discomfort. These are common reasons to ask about treatment—not a diagnosis or a promise that every condition will respond.
Heel & foot pain
Ask about plantar fasciitis and selected tendon concerns that can make standing, walking, or your first steps uncomfortable.
Elbow & forearm discomfort
Discuss tennis elbow and other repetitive-use concerns that may affect gripping, lifting, or everyday tasks.
Shoulder discomfort
Explore whether a selected tendon or soft-tissue concern is contributing to discomfort with reaching or movement.
Hip & knee discomfort
Talk with us about symptoms affecting stairs, exercise, or daily mobility. An evaluation helps identify the right next step.
Muscle & tendon concerns
Bring up localized soreness, ongoing tension, and activity-related symptoms that have been difficult to manage.
Back & neck discomfort
We’ll help determine whether symptoms call for chiropractic care, a soft-tissue treatment option, or another evaluation.
The right treatment starts with the right evaluation. Pain in the same area can have different causes. Dr. King will consider your history and findings before recommending HydroWave or another approach.
More Than a Treatment Area
Care that connects with your everyday life.
Pain can change how you work, move, rest, and spend time with the people you care about. Our approach looks at what you want to get back to, along with the symptoms that brought you in.
HydroWave adds a targeted treatment option to the chiropractic and wellness care available at Kennesaw Health and Wellness. Depending on your evaluation, your plan may also include chiropractic care, massage therapy, or guidance for your next steps.
We’ll talk through the options with you. A plan is based on your needs and response—not a promise of instant relief or a fixed number of sessions for everyone.

Know what to expect.
From your first conversation through follow-up, we’ll help you understand the treatment and the next step in your care.
Consultation & evaluation
Tell us where you hurt, how long it has been happening, and what makes it better or worse. We’ll review your health history, evaluate your concerns, and discuss our findings.
Bring your questions, medication list, and information about previous treatment or recent procedures.
Treatment when appropriate
If HydroWave is a suitable option, we’ll explain the process and apply the handheld device to the treatment area. You may notice pulsing, tapping, or discomfort; tell us how it feels.
The treatment itself is typically brief. Allow additional time for your first consultation and evaluation.
Your next steps
We’ll explain what to expect afterward, any activity guidance, and how we’ll review your progress. The need for further sessions depends on your condition and response.
Ask when to contact the office if symptoms change or you have concerns after treatment.
Comfort and suitability matter. Temporary soreness, redness, swelling, or bruising can occur. Tell us about pregnancy, blood-thinning medicines, bleeding problems, infection, and recent surgery or injections so we can assess whether treatment is appropriate. Do not change prescribed medication without your prescribing clinician’s advice.

HydroWave Therapy questions, answered.
Choosing care starts with understanding it. These answers explain the basics; your consultation is the place to discuss your specific symptoms and health history.
Have another question? Contact our team.
Is HydroWave the same as shockwave therapy?
HydroWave is a shockwave therapy system. It uses acoustic waves delivered through an applicator against the skin. It is different from a chiropractic adjustment, massage, or electrical stimulation, although these may be discussed as separate parts of your care.
Will I feel better after the first treatment?
Some patients notice a change early; others need more time or a different approach. Relief after one session is not guaranteed. Tracking your symptoms and function helps us assess whether the plan is meeting your needs.
What conditions can I ask about?
You can discuss heel pain and plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, shoulder concerns, hip or knee discomfort, and persistent muscle or tendon symptoms. These concerns have different causes. An evaluation determines whether HydroWave, another service, or further assessment is appropriate.
What does the $50 new-patient special include?
The HydroWave new-patient visit includes a consultation, full evaluation, doctor’s report of findings, and first HydroWave treatment when clinically appropriate. Mention the special when scheduling. Follow-up treatment, if recommended, is separate from this introductory visit.
How long does a HydroWave session take?
A treatment session is typically around 10 minutes. Your first appointment takes longer because it includes a consultation, evaluation, and discussion of findings. Ask our office how much time to allow when scheduling.
Can HydroWave be combined with other care?
Depending on your evaluation, HydroWave may be considered alongside chiropractic care, massage therapy, or other recommendations. Dr. King will help you understand which options fit your needs and how the proposed care works together.
Does treatment hurt, and is there downtime?
You may feel pulsing, tapping, or discomfort during treatment. Temporary soreness, redness, swelling, or bruising can occur afterward. Your provider will explain activity guidance for your situation; do not assume you should immediately return to strenuous exercise.
Is HydroWave covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on your insurance plan and benefits. Ask our office about charges and contact your insurer about coverage before treatment. The $50 introductory offer should not be taken as a guarantee of insurance coverage.
How many treatments will I need?
There is no single treatment count for every patient. Your symptoms, evaluation, goals, and response guide follow-up recommendations. We’ll discuss the proposed plan and costs with you rather than assuming the introductory visit is the only care you will need.
