Most clinicians hear about shockwave, buy a machine, skim the manual, and hope for the best. In this episode, Uran sits down with Dr. Lacina, who has 12 years of real-world shockwave experience, to unpack what she thought she knew back then versus what she actually knows now.
They break down why some clinics see “nothing changed after 10 sessions” while others get massive range-of-motion and pain improvements in as little as 2–5 treatments. You’ll hear the real differences between radial and focal shockwave, why device quality and training matter more than marketing claims, and how shockwave has changed the way she treats everything from rotator cuff tendinopathy and frozen shoulder to plantar fascia, ankles, TMJ, spine, and scar tissue.
If you’re a chiropractor, physio, RMT, or other clinician who’s curious about shockwave (or quietly skeptical), this conversation will show you what “shockwave done right” actually looks like in a modern practice: faster results, less practitioner fatigue, and more confidence treating complex cases.
In this episode:
- What 12 years of daily shockwave use taught a chiropractor
- Radial vs focal: comfort, depth, and where each actually fits
- Why “treat the painful spot only” fails… and what to do instead
- How proper training and protocols turn a machine into a real asset
- Patient stories: when shockwave didn’t work elsewhere but did in their clinic
- The ethical obligation to stop “winging it” with powerful tools
