Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that helps reduce pain, improve circulation, and stimulate your body’s natural healing process. At Midtown East Chiro, this therapy is often recommended for stubborn conditions like plantar fasciitis, heel pain, tennis elbow, shoulder pain, and chronic joint pain, as well as persistent knee pain that doesn’t respond to rest or medication.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

TESTIMONIALS

Had my 1st ever chiropractic visit...& Dr Mike was amazing and very gentle... Also, Jessica at the front desk was absolutely delightful.
MARIE I. NASH
Exceptional chiropractor! The personalized scheduling made it convenient for both my sister and me. The clinic's great location adds to the overall positive experience.Grateful for the effective treatment, helping me reduce and recover from back and shoulders pain.
Charly Uzcategui
Michael Calabrese is fantastic! He accommodated an appointment for me same day and on short notice and got straight to the issue, sorting my lower back pain and hip mobility. His pricing is also very reasonable as I was not covered by insurance. He really helped me and I highly recommend him.
Jonty Fetting
Dr. Calabrese really helped when I could barely get out of bed with a pulled back muscle.  One visit and I felt better, and after a 3rd visit good as new.  And today I felt the need for a tune up, and he fit me in his schedule.  He has lots of health and wellness tips, too.  Highly recommend.
Hugh Shull
Dr. Mike is as good as they come. Truly professional, got me adjusted and gave me a bunch of different at home stretches and remedies day one. He didn't string it out over a bunch of sessions...which I found to be unique. Felt like he was on my team and wanted me to get to feeling better. Mission accomplished - will use in future as needed!
Jonathan Braun
I have been coming to Dr. Calabrese for years.  I had 3 herniated discs in my neck and I could barely move.  After being treated by him I was able to recover quickly and get back to my work ( being a trainer and fitness studio owner).  I highly recommend him to anyone who needs treatment for any time of injury or rehab.  he is the best!
