What is PiezoWave Therapy?

PiezoWave is a non-invasive, drug free therapy that uses focused sound waves to stimulate healing and improve tissue function.

It can be helpful for:

Chronic shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, foot or back pain
Tendon irritation and overuse injuries (like tennis/golf elbow)
Plantar fasciitis
Scar tissue and muscle adhesions
Old sports injuries
Tight, irritated tissue that has not responded well to other treatments

Think of it like giving your body a very specific signal that says:
“Hey, this area still needs attention.”

The goal for our patients is not to simply cover up symptoms.
The goal is to help your body actually repair and remodel the tissue.

Why PiezoWave Therapy

Sometimes pain isn’t just coming from the joint itself. Sometimes it’s coming from deeper irritation in the tissue. Old injuries. Scar tissue. Tendons that never fully healed. Areas that feel tight, stuck, weak, or constantly aggravated no matter how much you stretch, foam roll, or rest.

That’s where focused shockwave therapy with the PiezoWave can be incredibly helpful.

Dr. Sara uses PiezoWave to help stimulate healing without injections, medications, or surgery in areas that have often been “stuck” for months or even years.

Why Dr. Sara Loves Combining It with Chiropractic and Movement Work

One of the biggest reasons people stay stuck in pain is because the tissue problem and the movement problem are both feeding each other.

That’s why Dr. Sara loves to combine PiezoWave with:

Chiropractic care
Movement retraining
Core and pelvic floor rehab
Strength and stability work
Breath and posture mechanics

It’s not about temporary pain relief, it’s about helping your body move and function better long term.

What To Expect?

Sessions are typically about 10 to 15 minutes long, depending on the area being treated.

A small handpiece is used to deliver focused sound pulses into the tissue. Most people describe the sensation they feel as a deep pulsing or tapping. Some areas can feel more sensitive than others, especially if the tissue has been irritated for a long time.

You may feel sore afterward, similar to how you might feel after a workout or deep tissue work, but that response is normal and is often a sign that the tissue is responding.

There’s no downtime after and most patients return to normal daily activity right away.

Some patients notice changes quickly while others need a series of treatments depending on how long the issue has been going on and how the tissue has adapted over time.

We will always talk through your goals, expectations, and treatment plan together so you know exactly what to expect.

"I feel like finding QC Doula Connect was kismet. I had so much fear that I’d waited too long to find a doula and then I ended up with an entire support package with doula, lactation, pelvic floor PT, and classes all in one. It’s been amazing and I’m so excited for any mom/family who gets to have QCDC support throughout their pregnancy, birth and beyond!"

“I had just a great experience for my first time attending a prenatal yoga class! I felt comfortable, the instructor continually informed me about why certain positions were good, where I should be feeling certain stretches, ways to modify movements. It was really educational and helped me feel comfortable! During the last portion (the affirmations), I felt so cared for; There were pillows to make laying on my side comfortable, and when she noticed I was holding my stomach (something I forget needs support now), the instructor seamlessly got a wedge pillow for me, without skipping a beat (and I immediately went home and bought one of them for myself).”

“My family LOVES Dr. Sara! She doesn’t adjust us generically, but instead, treats each one of us as an individual, adjusting us as each of our bodies needs."

"My experience with Miranda for the birth of my 6th baby was nothing short of wonderful. During prenatal visits, she was an attentive listener and always gave such practical, gentle advice and reassurance. She arrived quickly to my baby’s birth completely prepared, yet incredibly calm. She has the most peaceful, nurturing demeanor, which was exactly what I needed to help cultivate the perfect environment while I labored. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone considering a home birth. Her experience, knowledge, and skills are top notch; they were utilized in such a way that gave me complete trust in having both my baby and myself in her care."

"My Chiro appt with Dr Sara was wonderful. I am 33 weeks pregnant. I felt good throughout and after my adjustment. She took time to focus on my concern area, which was my wrist with recent developed carpal tunnel symptoms. It was a great experience."

"Amber is Awesome!!! She is friendly, outgoing and passionate about helping people!! She makes me feel comfortable and does an assessment of my needs at each session. She is able to relieve my tension and problem areas and makes me feel Amazing!! I would recommend her to anyone!!!"

“Sara is the best!! Instead of just cracking your neck and sending you on your way, she works with you on how to correct what causes your pain. She’s the best chiro in the Quad Cities!!”

"My appointment with Dr. Marie was awesome! She is empathetic and thorough. I felt wonderful leaving her office. I look forward to my appointments."

"Amazing as always! So thankful I found motherhood matters to help support love and encourage me through the entire prenatal and postnatal transition!"

"My appointment was fabulous! Sara always listens to my concerns and then acts accordingly. She was able to adjust my rib and I feel like a new woman! She is always so supportive and makes you feel empowered as a mama. I'm grateful I found Motherhood Matters when I needed it."

"Amber is amazing! I have been using her for massage therapy for years and would not think of using anyone else. She does a fabulous job attending to your needs, whether it’s focusing on a few specific areas or a full body massage to alleviate stress. Amber is professional and makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. Do not hesitate to give her a try!"

“I had an incredible prenatal sound bath and reiki session with Sarah that was so immersive and healing. Total calm and deep relaxation while she worked her magic. As I went to bed that night I realized the time following our session was the best I've felt, with the least pregnancy aches and pains I'd had in weeks! What a relief and blessing 🙂 Thank you for your work!”
