The Three Things We Use on a Joint Here

Omniwave shockwave therapy

Acoustic wave therapy is one of the first things offered for a tendon here. Pressure waves are delivered through the skin into tissue that has stopped settling on its own, to lift local blood flow and support the body's own repair response.

Rotator cuffs, frozen shoulders, hips and heels are what it is used on here, along with knees. Nothing is injected and there is no recovery period. Omniwave shockwave sessions at the Lady Lake office are self-pay.

Knee decompression

Knees are a common reason people in this market ask about non-surgical care at all. Decompression applies controlled traction across the joint, lowering the pressure between surfaces that have worn thin and giving the knee room to move with less friction.

It suits long-standing wear and osteoarthritis, particularly in people told a replacement is next. Read what knee decompression as it runs in Lady Lake involves.

Soft tissue therapy

Hands-on work is what makes the other two hold. It releases guarded muscle, works through old scar tissue, and gets the layers gliding over each other again after an injury or operation. Active Release Technique and Graston instrument-assisted work are both used.

A shoulder freed up by acoustic wave therapy stiffens again if the tissue around it never relearns how to move. Hands-on soft tissue work booked in Lady Lake is scheduled alongside the rest of your plan.

Why People Ask Here Before They Book a Replacement

Dr. Justin Bergin, DC has 22 years in practice, and he examines the joint together with the joints above and below it, because a knee that hurts can be a stiff hip and a locked lower back wearing one surface faster than the other.

Chiropractic, spinal and knee decompression, acoustic wave therapy, soft tissue work, nerve rehabilitation and metabolic care all sit under one roof here, on one plan. That matters more at this age, because people at this desk often have three things going on rather than one.

One of the categories this practice lists under is Sports medicine clinic, and in this market that means golf, pickleball and a garden rather than a team sport.

No Promises Here

Nobody here promises you a new joint or a regrown tendon. The honest goal is less friction, more range, and getting back to what you quietly stopped doing.

Treating Days, and Getting In

This office treats Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM and 2:30 PM to 6:30 PM. Tuesday and Friday are by appointment, and this office is closed Saturday and Sunday.

Our Lakeland office runs its own week, so the two schedules are not interchangeable. Its treating days are on where the Lakeland office publishes its week.

A course of care here is built around three treating days, which is easier to plan around, since the visits land on the same days each week. Visiting details for the Lady Lake office cover the rest.
