Understanding Your Options
Clear, realistic information about how treatments work, their potential benefits, and their limitations.
Acupuncture uses sterile, single-use fine needles at selected points. Its effects are not fully understood, but research suggests it may influence nervous-system activity and local tissues. It may help some people manage back or neck pain, knee osteoarthritis pain, and certain headaches.
Shockwave therapy sends acoustic pressure waves into a targeted area. It may influence pain signaling and the local tissue response and is sometimes considered for persistent tendon or plantar heel complaints. It is not an electrical shock and does not require an incision.
Prolozone is an injection-based approach using a clinician-selected solution with an oxygen-ozone mixture in or around selected joints or soft tissues. Evidence is still developing, protocols vary, and it is not guaranteed to regenerate tissue, create permanent repair, or cure a condition.
Recommendations are based on your history, symptoms, examination, goals, safety considerations, and response to care. The provider will explain potential benefits, limitations, risks, and alternatives before treatment.
Your first visit focuses on your symptoms, health history, movement concerns, medications, and goals. Rafael Padro, AP, DOM, will explain which options may be appropriate and outline a personalized starting plan.
The number and frequency of visits vary by patient and condition. Your provider will set measurable goals and reassess your response rather than promise a fixed result or timeline.
