My step-father recommended Dr. Scriven to me after being treated successfully for back pain and a torn hamstring. Dr. Scriven is very professional and personable. He treated me for De Quervains tendonitis which was extremely painful and limiting my usage of my right wrist and thumb. Through regular treatment with shockwave therapy (High-energy acoustic waves), the pain is almost completely gone and I am able to use my right hand again. Dr. Scriven has also given me physical therapy exercises to help now that my thumb and wrist are much better. I had tried numerous home treatment and steroid shots before coming to Dr. Scriven, and the shock wave therapy is the first thing that has helped my condition to improve. Thank you, Dr. Scriven!

I was extremely impressed with the whole experience – Dr Scriven made me feel at ease from the moment I walked into the consulting room. I am now on a journey to improving my alignment and have high hopes that in a few weeks I will definitely see a huge improvement to the pain I am in at the moment. I highly recommend him.

I started seeing Dr. Scriven for chronic neck pain and finally felt heard. He took the time to understand my symptoms and explain how treatment could help. After just a few visits, my neck pain—and even my headaches—had significantly improved. The improvement has been life-changing, and I’m so grateful for the compassion and relief I’ve found at Scriven Chiropractic. Highly recommend!!

I went in to try shockwave therapy for some tightness in my knee about nine months after I had surgery. Dr. Scriven was very thorough in asking me questions about my knee and explaining how shockwave therapy works and what the treatment goals were. I had noticeable results immediately after the session and some general improvement for up to a few days after. I'll be scheduling more sessions with Dr. Scriven.

Dr. Scriven was recommended to me by my own chiropractor as her schedule was full. I went to Dr. Scriven for right foot pain. He did a thorough examination and performed shock wave therapy along with full adjustment. My foot pain subsided after 3 visits. I've gone back for hip flexor and minor back pain. Dr. Scriven is knowledgeable and compassionate. He showed me different home exercises to do and areas to pay attention to while exercising. I highly recommend Dr. Scriven for all your aches and pain.

Dr. Scriven is the best chiropractor I’ve ever worked with! He took the time to clearly explain everything, answered all of my questions, and made me feel comfortable throughout my appointments. After each visit, I felt much less tension and pain in the areas he addressed. I was in town visiting family, and he helped me find a chiropractor in my area. I highly recommend Dr. Scriven and will definitely see him again the next time I’m in town.

What To Expect:

Shockwave sessions will typically require 30 minutes. We will apply an acoustic gel over the area of complaint, which will help transfer the energy of the sound waves into the damaged tissues. During the treatment, patients may experience mild discomfort as the shockwaves break up scar tissue and restart the healing process. It is completely normal to feel a slight “soreness” in the area depending on your initial pain level, but many patients report immediate pain relief and increased functionality after the first treatment.​​

We typically recommend a series of 3 to 6 Shockwave Therapy sessions, spaced 7 days apart, depending on the severity of your condition. There are no long-term commitments required to begin treatment, and we are always available to answer any questions you may have about the process. We believe Shockwave Therapy is a game-changing tool that can benefit everyone, from high-level athletes to those with sedentary jobs, helping them achieve their goals and live pain-free. Having experienced its benefits firsthand, we consider it one of the most effective methods available for maintaining overall health and providing top-quality care to our patients.
