From Skeptic to Shockwave Evangelist: How This Chiropractor Transformed His Practice with Radial, EMTT, and Focused Shockwave Therapy

In this explosive episode of the “I Love Shockwave” podcast, Uran Berisha sits down with Dr. Eric Dzwonkowski, a chiropractor from Denver, Colorado, who went from zero knowledge of shockwave therapy to building a fully integrated regenerative practice combining chiropractic, radial pressure wave, EMTT, and focused shockwave.

If you’re a chiropractor, physiotherapist, or any practitioner sitting on the fence wondering whether to invest in shockwave—or questioning how to properly use the devices you already own—this no-fluff, hands-on conversation is your wake-up call.

You’d be shocked—pun intended—how many practitioners drop $30K on a shockwave device and then get nothing but a brochure, a 1-hour “training,” and a “good luck.”

That’s exactly what happened to Dr. Eric. He bought the machines, got the books, and dove in… only to find that he was flying blind. Protocols felt vague. Patient results were inconsistent. And worst of all, he couldn’t explain what the devices were actually doing—because nobody ever taught him.

If you’re treating soft tissue like it’s all the same, or guessing at energy settings, you’re leaving results (and revenue) on the table.

Most clinics are using shockwave therapy like it’s a fancy massage tool. Sales reps demo the machine, hand over a one-size-fits-all playbook, and walk away.

Sound familiar?

Dr. Eric did what many do—applied the radial to plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow, followed the settings, and saw… mediocre results. Why? Because the device wasn’t the problem—the practitioner was just never trained to customize protocols based on pain sensitivity, tissue depth, or condition phase.

This is not pain management. This is cellular-level regeneration. And it demands precision.

After investing in Unpain Clinic’s real-world clinical training, Dr. Eric experienced a 180° shift.

He didn’t just learn how to use the devices. He learned when, why, and what kind of shockwave to apply—and most importantly, how to educate patients in a way that built massive trust.

Now? He’s combining radial shockwave to release soft tissues, EMTT to supercharge cell metabolism, and focused shockwave to activate deep healing—creating custom protocols and care plans that outperform standard therapy by miles.

Even better, he’s diagnosing faster, reducing treatment times, and watching patients transform from frustrated and broken to fully functional—and referring their friends.

If you think shockwave is just another machine you can toss in a treatment room and forget about, you’re not just underestimating the tool—you’re sabotaging your practice.

Shockwave therapy is not a plug-and-play gimmick. It’s a biological reprogrammer. A tissue regeneration accelerator. A neuromuscular reset button.

And when combined with proper training, intentional diagnosis, and practitioner precision—it becomes the most powerful tool in your clinic.

Dr. Eric is living proof: from confused to confident, and from results-guessing to result-guaranteeing. If you're still thinking about it, you're already behind.
