Vector Spine and Sport - Vector Spine and Sport Chiropractic

At Vector Spine and Sport in Murray, Utah, our mission is to help you move confidently again—without surgery or heavy meds. That’s why we trust Shockwave Therapy (ESWT/EPAT) for stubborn issues like tendon pain and frozen shoulder. Backed by research and powered by innovation, here’s why patients love it.

Conditions Shockwave Treats Effectively

Clinical evidence supports shockwave therapy in treating a range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

Plantar Fasciitis – Randomized studies reveal ESWT outperforms ultrasound in decreasing pain and improving function.
Calcific Tendonitis of the Shoulder – Strong outcomes in pain reduction and functional improvement documented in controlled trials.
Achilles & Patellar Tendinopathy, Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow), Hip Tendinopathy – ESWT consistently reduces pain and enhances healing via increased circulation and tissue regeneration.
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) – ESWT significantly improves shoulder mobility and reduces stiffness compared to standard therapies.

Shockwave Therapy is uniquely effective because it stimulates healing via controlled tissue microtrauma, promoting growth factors and restoring function.

What Your Treatment Will Feel Like

Preparation: We’ll locate the area, apply gel, and customize energy settings.
During Treatment: You may experience short, repetitive pulses—commonly described as a mild 5/10 “discomfort,” not pain. We adjust in real time for your comfort.
Post-Session Relief: Many notice immediate relief in pain and movement. Healing continues across 3–8 weekly sessions.

Side effects are minimal—some patients may see redness or mild swelling, but serious complications are extremely rare.

Why It Works: The Science Behind the Sound

Shockwave Therapy works by transmitting high-energy acoustic waves through the skin into targeted tissues. This stimulates:

A local healing cascade (cellular repair and new blood vessel formation)
Reduction in pain-signaling nerve activity (nociception inhibition)
Breakdown of scar tissue and calcifications, thereby enhancing flexibility and reducing inflammation

How Neck Issues Trigger Headaches Neck pain and headaches are a classic “bad combo”—but did you know they’re often connected? If you’ve ever felt a dull ache start in your neck and creep its way up into your skull, you’re not imagining it. At Vector Spine and Sport, we often see patients dealing with this exact issue—and the good news is, you don’t have to live with it.

🚨 Why It Happens:

Your neck is packed with nerves, muscles, and joints that connect directly to your head. Poor posture, previous injuries, or even stress can cause muscle tension and misalignments in the cervical spine. When this happens, nerves become irritated and muscles tighten, leading to referred pain in the head—aka a cervicogenic headache.

Common causes include:

Poor posture (tech neck, anyone?)
Whiplash or previous trauma
Stress and muscle tension
Sleeping in poor positions
Joint restrictions or misalignments in the cervical spine

🩺 What Does It Feel Like?

Neck-related headaches often:

Start at the base of the skull
Radiate to the forehead or behind the eyes
Feel like dull, steady pressure
Get worse with neck movement

🛠️ Treatment Options:

At Vector Spine and Sport, we take a multi-modal approach to treating neck pain and headaches.

✅ Chiropractic Care
Gentle spinal adjustments help improve joint mobility, reduce nerve irritation, and release muscular tension.

✅ Shockwave Therapy (EPAT)
This non-invasive technology helps stimulate blood flow, reduce inflammation, and accelerate tissue repair in tight, painful neck muscles.

✅ Posture Correction & Ergonomic Coaching
We’ll help you fix the root cause—whether it’s your workstation or how you sleep.

✅ Soft Tissue Therapy & Rehab Exercises
Custom stretches and therapies that retrain your muscles and improve strength and flexibility.

🗣️ Real Results

Many patients report reduced headache frequency and intensity after just a few visits. The key is addressing the source of the pain, not just covering up symptoms with painkillers.

📅 Don’t Let Neck Pain Rule Your Life

If you’re tired of treating headaches with pills that don’t work, it’s time to try a new approach. Book a consultation with Vector Spine and Sport and find out if chiropractic care or shockwave therapy can help you break the cycle of pain—for good.
