Joint Pain Therapy
Joint Pain Therapy
A targeted plan for stubborn joint flare-ups that won't heal on their own.
What is Joint Pain Therapy?
Joint Pain Therapy is a non-surgical program for non-arthritic joint problems — tendinopathies, bursitis, sprains, and post-injury aches that haven't healed on their own. Dr. Kanyon Smith combines Sanuwave shockwave, manual joint mobilization, and corrective rehab to stimulate real tissue repair and change the mechanics that kept the joint flared up.

How It Works
Your joint pain therapy program, step by step.
01
Tissue-specific exam
Dr. Smith identifies exactly which tissue is driving the pain — tendon, bursa, capsule, or ligament.
02
Shockwave delivery
Sanuwave acoustic-wave therapy is applied over the affected tissue to trigger the body's natural repair response.
03
Mobilization & corrective rehab
Manual joint work and targeted rehab change the mechanics that kept the tissue irritated.
04
Return-to-activity
Progressive loading back to the work, sport, or daily tasks you've been avoiding.
