WHAT IS SHOCKWAVE THERAPY?

Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment designed to accelerate the body’s natural healing processes and alleviate pain. This advanced therapy utilizes high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. By delivering shockwaves to the infected area, the therapy enhances blood flow, promotes collagen production, and helps break down calcifications, leading to improved function and reduced discomfort.

Dr. Aaron has been a huge component for me in the last few months with getting my body right. He has helped alleviate many issues that I've had either bothering me or have been accumulated through wear and tear over the years. I contribute, in part, my ability to running that the 3 cone time at the combine to him. Thank you again for everything you have done and being more than just a Chiropractor.

I have been in the fitness industry for over 30 years, leading classes, workshops, etc.. My body has been under heavy use for a long time and so I have seen my share of Chiropractors in my career. Dr. Vanderhoof's office is the best overall experience i have ever had. I mean ever. From the warm welcome at the door, to the honest true care and concern that I get better. i won't go anywhere else for my overused body, because I feel better.

Best sports medicine doc / chiropractor / bodywork specialist you can imagine. Whether you're an athlete or not, if you've got issues, go pay him and his team a visit.

Doris Steere

As an endurance athlete of many years, I constantly put my body through the ringer and overuse injuries tend to come with the territory. With Dr. Aaron's aggressive sessions coupled with Daniel's massage expertise (the man's a healer!), I'm happy to say that I not only showed up up to the starting line of Augusta 70.3 (a victory in itself), but I ended up with a personal record to boot! I owe it all to Vanderhoof Sports and Wellness Institute and I encourage anyone -- no matter your ailment -- to give them a visit. You won't be disappointed.

I had a tight neck for many years.  Thought it was something I just had to live with.  After a visit with Dr. Aaron I could turn my head, without pain, further than I had in years.  After a few more visits I found many more benefits including relief from neck and back pain, greater range of motion, and better sleep at night. He's efficient and good.  Go see him
