I’ve been very hesitant to see a chiropractor after my last experience years ago. Dr. Scriven is a life saver. He uses cutting edge technology like shock wave therapy to break up scar tissue, treat tendon issues and chronic pain. His hands on techniques are gentle and effective. He has helped my migraine frequency in just a few short visits. Thank you for being so awesome!

Great session with Hunter. Had a major issue with my lower back, he helped me a lot with several treatment. It was my first time to get treated but it worked really well. He explained why I have those pains and helped me to fully understand about it. I recommend to anyone who have a pain and want to get it fixed.

I was honestly hesitant to see a chiropractor because I didn’t really believe it could help me. But the pain I was in had become unbearable, and being 4 months postpartum after a difficult pregnancy, I was willing to try anything to feel better. After just one visit with Dr. Scriven I felt a difference. Within hours, my pain and discomfort became more manageable, and for the first time in a long time, I had hope that my body could start to heal. With each session, I continue to feel better, less pain, more movement, and more comfort in my own body. I can’t express how grateful I am for the care and relief Dr. Scriven has given me. It’s been such a blessing to finally feel like myself again after everything my body has been through. I highly recommend Dr. Scriven! Thank you so much for all of your care and support!

I found Dr Scriven on a google search. I am a trained acupuncturist and takes care of my body so I don’t normally experience any disabling pain. One day I was changing my clothes and through an unplanned tweak of my lower back, I felt one of my lumbar bones slip out of alignment. Instantly, I lost use of my spine and voluntary movement throughout my body. I couldn’t stand up or walk without a crutch. I needed someone to put that bone back into alignment. Luckily when google sent me to Dr Scriven’s website, I was able to book a same day appointment. When I went for my appointment, my husband had to help me get dressed and put my socks on. Once at his office, Dr Scriven greeted me and started assessing my physical condition. He looked worried for me as I was in a lot of pain. Once in his treatment room, he went through my health history and ask me questions. He explained what his plan was to treat my condition. Once I laid done, he explained step by step how the treatment was going to proceed. He was gentle throughout the whole process. He started with running currents through the area of my pain, followed by decompression, and then some tool that felt like a gentle hammering over the pain area. All the procedures felt good and I felt a gurgling feeling in my lumbar bones. He also applied medicated ointment and gently massage. I had a great treatment experience. After I left Dr Scriven’s office, I was still in lots of pain but one thing I noticed immediately was that the misalignment in my lumbar spine had eased. Every couple of hours after the appointment something opened up in my lower back. The first 2 hours after treatment, I put aside the crutch I was using to help me stand and walk. A couple more hours the area opened up some more. By the next day, I was able to take a walk with my husband around our neighborhood. I highly recommend Dr Scriven’s gentle attentive approach. He is now a part of my medical support network! Thanks again Dr Scriven!!

Dr. Scriven is empathetic, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Under his care, my knee pain is almost entirely gone which I didn’t think was a possibly just a few months ago!

What To Expect:

Shockwave sessions will typically last 15 minutes, with the actual treatment time averaging about 5 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.
