No Surgery, No Downtime: Shockwave Therapy for Athletes Is Now in Cumming, GA
Cumming, United States – June 21, 2026 / Empower Sports Chiropractic /
CUMMING, Ga., June 20, 2026 — Empower Sports Chiropractic is now offering shockwave therapy at its Cumming, Ga., clinic this June, expanding sports recovery options for athletes and active adults across Forsyth County and the North Atlanta area.
The clinic, led by Dr. Jared Croskey, team chiropractor for Georgia Tech Football, uses SoftWave technology, an acoustic wave system that delivers pressure waves deep into injured or inflamed tissue, up to 5.5 inches, to support the body’s natural repair process and help address chronic pain. The treatment is non-invasive and typically requires no downtime.
“Shockwave therapy has been a standard tool in high-level sports medicine for years, and we’re making it available to athletes right here in Cumming,” said Dr. Croskey, DC, ATC (Athletic Trainer Certified), and GTS (Graston Technique Specialist), a former provider for the Atlanta Falcons organization. “For patients dealing with chronic tendon pain, plantar fasciitis, or repetitive-stress injuries that haven’t responded to other treatments, SoftWave gives us a non-surgical option to work on the underlying issue.”
Conditions Treated With Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy at Empower Sports Chiropractic is used to address musculoskeletal conditions affecting athletes, active adults and working professionals, including:
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Achilles and patellar tendinopathy (chronic tendon pain)
- Shoulder tendon irritation and calcific tendinopathy
- Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow (lateral and medial epicondylitis)
- Hip, glute and hamstring tendinopathies
- Shin splints and repetitive-stress injuries
Sessions run 15 to 30 minutes. Shockwave therapy is not offered as a standalone service. It is built into each patient’s individualized care plan alongside chiropractic adjustments, corrective exercise, dry needling or soft-tissue therapy as clinically appropriate.
Longer Sessions, Individualized Plans
Empower Sports Chiropractic is built around time with the patient. Initial evaluations run 45 minutes; follow-up appointments run 30 to 45 minutes. That structure gives Dr. Croskey and his team room to assess, treat and re-test within a single visit.
The practice is cash-based and does not bill insurance. Treatment plans are built around each patient’s clinical needs. Health savings account (HSA) and flexible spending account (FSA) payments are accepted.
“We treat every person who walks through our door the way I treat Georgia Tech football players,” Dr. Croskey said. “A real assessment, a real plan and time spent on your care.”
Dr. Croskey earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in 2021. Beyond his current role with Georgia Tech Football, he previously provided chiropractic services for the Atlanta Falcons organization. The clinic’s team also includes Dr. Sofia McGrath, DPT, a physical therapist certified in dry needling, vestibular therapy and blood flow restriction training.
Empower Sports Chiropractic serves patients from Cumming, Alpharetta, Dawsonville and Gainesville.
