Shockwave Centers of America™
Shockwave Centers of America™ is committed to making this remarkable technology widely accessible so that patients everywhere can experience effective relief from chronic pain conditions. SWCA is a combined effort of David Tucker, president of TENSnet.com - a leading supplier of chiropractic equipment and supplies, and Dr. Dan Ruitenbeek, a chiropractor and owner of Explore Health & Wellness in Marietta, GA. It is our goal to make this technology affordable to pratitioners so that you can make it accessible and affordable to patients. There is no need to spend tens of thousands of dollars to achieve the same results. By not having to worry about paying for a unit, you as a practitioner can make a clinical decision, rather than a financial decision when treating your patients. As another tool in your toolbox, such as electrotherapy, decompression, laser and others, the affordability that we offer, without compromising quality or results, allows you to continue to best address your patients' needs.
About Us
What is
Shockwave?
When an injury occurs within your body, your body immediately implements its own healing mechanisms to help naturally repair and restore the tissue, bone, cells and other compromised areas affected by the injury.
When you experience chronic pain, your body is no longer recognizing that there is an injury to that area. As a result, it shuts down the healing process and no further relief is provided, leaving you in a constant state of pain.
The shockwave therapy provided by Shockwave Centers of America™ penetrates deep into your soft tissue, causing a microtrauma or new inflammatory condition to the treated area. This “new injury” triggers your body's natural healing response once again. The energy emitted into the area also causes the cells in the soft tissue to release certain bio-chemicals that intensify the body's natural healing process. These bio-chemicals allow for the building of an array of new microscopic blood vessels in the soft tissue.
The strong energy pulses that are applied to the affected area for short periods of time stimulates cells in the body that are responsible for bone and connective tissue healing. In many instances, shockwave therapy treatments have proven to be effective in cases where the human body has not been able to heal itself on its own
Shockwave Research
Shockwave therapy is a proven effective treatment supported by medical literature. There have been extensive studies done on Radial Shockwave Therapy over the past 20 years, including double-blind, randomized, controlled studies indicating up to 91% improvement with 84% success rate for numerous conditions.
Shockwave therapy reviews, research, clinical studies, statistics, and indications are widely available. Please email us or contact your local Shockwave Center of America™ for research materials.
Is Shockwave expensive?
Quality of life is priceless. At Shockwave Centers of America™, we aim to provide the highest quality of life at the most affordable option.
The costs of surgery are astronomical. Physical therapy sessions can be 2-3 times a week, for 6 weeks where co-payments of $40 or more are required for each visit. Over a six-week period or 15 visits, this can add up to over $600 in out of pocket expenses.
If you want fast results in less time, and would like to save money, then call us today at Shockwave Centers of America™ and start feeling great again!
Treatments & Symptoms
The practitioner carrying out the treatment will apply ultrasound gel to the injured area and then place the applicator to the area administering the ballistic waves (compressed air impulses) over the affected area in a very slow, circular motion.
Most patients do experience a minor level of discomfort during the procedure, however all measures will be taken to adjust the treatment to help manage any discomfort. Patients may also feel soreness in the area for a day or two afterward, similar to a strenuous workout.

expert in treating patients with shockwave therapy
Hey, I'm Dr. Dan
Dr. Dan has become an expert in treating patients with shockwave therapy in his clinic for over 5 years, learning about and studying the technology and using that knowledge to develop his own proprietary treatment protocols for many indications.
As a patient of Dr. Dan, David experienced exceptional relief from the shockwave therapy for chronic knee pain, achillles tendinitis and calf issues. Inquiring further as to why shockwave treatment was not more widely discussed, and available more readily, together they determined that the lack of knowledge and awareness by many practitioners and the high costs for devices offered by current distributors was preventing this technology from advancing and becoming widely available.
Using Dr. Dan’s experience, knowledge and expertise along with David’s history of sourcing and manufacturing, they joined forces to create Shockwave Centers of America™. The results are high quality shockwave devices offered to practitioners at affordable prices, with the educational and proven marketing support to ensure increases practice revenue while achieving the highest levels of patient care.
