You already know how effective our Class IV laser is for decreasing inflammation and speeding tissue healing…

⭐ Shockwave is different.

Instead of using light to stimulate tissue, shockwave uses acoustic waves that create mechanical pressure changes deep inside the body. This triggers powerful biological responses that can’t be achieved with laser alone.

📌 What focused shockwave helps do:
• Increase microcirculation
• Improve blood vessel dilation through nitric oxide release
• Reduce pain through Substance P modulation
• Stimulate growth factors + new blood vessel formation
• Activate stem cells and support tissue regeneration

In simple terms:
👉 Laser calms the fire.
👉 Shockwave rebuilds the house.
Together, they create one of the most complete healing strategies available today.

We’re incredibly excited to bring this level of technology to Marathon—and to help patients recover faster, feel better, and get back to doing what they love. 💙

We often see X-rays showing “arthritis,” and it’s easy to assume that’s the reason for every ache or stiffness. But research has shown that many people with arthritic changes in their spine, hips, or knees have zero pain at all. In fact, some studies find that the severity of arthritis on imaging doesn’t always match how someone feels.

Pain is complex — it’s influenced by movement, inflammation, circulation, stress, and even how our nervous system interprets signals over time. Arthritis can be part of the picture, but it’s rarely the whole story.

That’s why two people with similar X-rays can have totally different experiences — one might struggle with daily pain, while the other feels fine and moves well.

The takeaway? Imaging findings don’t define your pain or your potential for improvement. Movement, strength, and healthy habits play a massive role in how your joints feel and function.

If you’ve been told “it’s just arthritis,” that doesn’t mean you’re stuck. You might be surprised what your body is still capable of when we address the full picture.
