December 19, 2024
At AXIS Chiropractic and Occupational Health, we pride ourselves on providing innovative, non-invasive solutions to help patients live pain-free and maintain optimal mobility. Among the cutting-edge therapies we offer is shockwave therapy, a highly effective option for managing arthritis symptoms.
What is Arthritis?
Arthritis refers to a group of conditions characterized by joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation. Common types include:
Osteoarthritis: Caused by wear and tear of joint cartilage.
Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the joints.
These conditions can result from factors such as aging, joint injuries, obesity, and genetic predisposition, significantly impacting quality of life.
How Shockwave Therapy Helps Arthritis Patients
Shockwave therapy is gaining recognition as a promising treatment for arthritis. This non-invasive approach provides multiple benefits:
Pain Relief: Shockwave therapy enhances blood flow and accelerates cellular repair, reducing pain in the affected joints.
Improved Joint Function: By stimulating tissue regeneration, it promotes better mobility and flexibility.
Minimal Side Effects: Most patients tolerate the procedure well, experiencing little to no adverse effects.
The Science Behind Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy employs high-energy acoustic waves to trigger the body’s natural healing processes. When applied to arthritic joints, these waves:
Stimulate blood circulation
Promote collagen production
Reduce inflammation
These effects work together to repair damaged tissues and alleviate pain, providing long-term relief for arthritis sufferers.
What to Expect During Treatment
At AXIS Chiropractic and Occupational Health, shockwave therapy is a straightforward process:
A gel is applied to the treatment area.
A handheld device delivers acoustic waves directly to the affected joint.
Sessions typically last 10–15 minutes with no downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities immediately.
Who Can Benefit from Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy may be ideal for individuals experiencing chronic arthritis pain, particularly those who haven’t found relief through traditional treatments like medication or physical therapy. It’s also an excellent option for patients seeking alternatives to surgery.
Our team will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine if this therapy is suitable for your specific needs.
Potential Side Effects
While rare, mild side effects such as temporary discomfort, redness, or swelling may occur. These typically resolve quickly without lasting impact.
Rediscover Freedom with AXIS Chiropractic and Occupational Health

I had to do my DOT renewnal PHYSICAL I have to say this place was a little difficult to find, and its on the service road of 635 E exit Hillcrest. It's before you get to the light at Hillcrest in the light brown buildings. Dr. B. Mays was so nice, down to earth, and has a great sense of professionalism. He didn't take long, and he was very polite in making sure I did all of the requirements effectively. I would recommend him for DOT PHYSICAL, CHIROPRACTOR, or any injury concerns.<br>His office was well decorated, clean, and has a very welcoming feel to it.
Great experience, had my DOT visit and he was able to handle a rush hour very efficiently. Was able to get back to work in time for my 2nd shift. Will definitely recommend his services.

Great experience. I've been going to Axis for the SoftWave treatments, and it has helped me so much. I was having a problem with pain in my hip, and after the first treatment the pain was reduced. Now, I go in for tune ups wherever I feel pain.
Dr. Mays the first black chiropractor to take care of all them aches and pain, the man is definitely on top of it. He’s very professional, on a scale 1-10 he got my 10.
I’ve been experiencing lower back issues in the coccyx area. I’ve had 2 adjustments from Dr. Mayes and feel marvelous!!!!!!<br><br>Range of motion has significantly increased and discomfort has significantly decreased.<br><br>I feel amazing!!!!!!!<br><br>Thank you soooo much!!!<br><br>See you next week!<br><br>Carla Harper
My experience has been unbelievably great! When I first came to see Dr May's<br>I could barely walk or put any pressure on my knee. After a month 8 sessions my knee feels great! I went dancing for the first time in about six months! And had no issues. I would recommend this treatment to anyone experiencing joint pain!
My left foot plantar fasciitis is almost resolved (after three treatments) from the soft wave therapy rendered by Dr Mays. He has been very caring, compassionate, and professional while working with me to restore function to my left foot.
Dr. Mays used Soft Wave treatments on my wrist and shoulder and I have regained full use of my shoulder and my wrist is well on the way to being healed. The treatments I have received are making my life so much better!
I’ve been seeing axis chiropractic for Softwave treatments on my wrist and I’ve had excellent results. The treatments have been very effective, so much, that I won’t be needing surgery to fix my wrist instability. Prices for Softwave at this location are hard to beat!
I have been in the trucking since 2012 and every 2 years I have to get my DOT physical. Dr. Mays got me in quick and was very professional. It’s good to have a Dr. that can take care of your physical and know about trucking.
Came here today and I must say I am absolutely impressed! I was in and out very quickly, the dr was very frien, funny and professional! Would recommend to everyone!!!
It was a very pleasant and calming experience I got the result I was looking for. The Dr. was very informative and patient. The office could do with a bit of tidying though :)
Dr. Mays was fantastic! Very prompt and offers a wide variety of specialized tests from drug screening to respiratory fit test. Oh and he’s a chiropractor! Highly recommend his services
Been seeing Dr Mays for about 4 yrs now for my DOT physicals and employee drug tests. By far best in DFW. Very professional and always gets me in and out of his office in no time at all. Highly recommend to everyone I know.
I had an amazing adjustment with Dr. Mays today and I’m walking on a cloud. I’m currently 4 months pregnant and started waddling, with a stiff and sore back and neck due to the changes quickly happening to my body. He snapped, crackled and popped me right back into shape! I can’t wait until my next one!
Excellent service. Same day service. Quick, fast and thorough. I'll be recommending my company drivers come see Dr. Bryant Mays in the future for all our needs.
