AT Atlas family
Atlas Family Chiropractic Center uses Shockwave Therapy in Columbia MD and Towson MD as a part of a whole-patient approach to improving patient health and well-being. Officially called low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT), the procedure is more commonly known as shockwave therapy.
Tennis Elbow
Jumper's Knee
Calcific Tendinitis Of The Shoulder
Plantar Fascitis
Your therapist will discuss your symptoms with you and locate the source of pain. They will then mark the area intended for the Shockwave Therapy. A gel is applied to optimize the contact between the application device and your skin. The handpiece delivers pulsations to the pain area for a number of prescribed pulses, depending on the condition.
Success Rates: 90% improvement was recorded for the treatment of Plantar Fasciitis (heel pain) by the Journal of Orthopedic Research (2005). The same publication quotes a 77% success rate when treating Tennis Elbow with Radial Shockwave Therapy and other clinical studies have generally reported a success rate in excess of 75%. Nice (National Institute of Clinical Excellence) provided evidence to the NHS: NICE evidence for Shockwave.
Shockwave Therapy is FDA cleared for the treatment of acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain and connective tissue disorders; there are no known risks or complications.
IS SHOCKWAVE THERAPY COVERED BY INSURANCE?
Shockwave therapy is an elective pay modality and is not covered by insurance.

I’ve been going to Atlas Chiropractic on and off for several years, and have found great relief for my back pain with the treatments. Dr. Mahoney and his staff are very personable and genuinely care that each patient has a positive experience at the practice.
I have found them to be very flexible when my schedule changes, and I need to come in at another time. I like that the doctor works with me even if the practice is not on my insurance list. Everyone I have referred has also been very satisfied with Atlas Family Chiropractic.


I got referred to Dr. Mahoney by my husband and MIL, this is my 1st Chiropractic experience and i have to say i can’t be more happy! The staff is incredible, so professional and kind, also, even after my first visit I felt so relieved! I loved the flexibility on times and the equipment, highly recommend
