Ron Warden had his doubts. But he trusted his doctor to give it a shot.
He had been dealing with neck issues for a long time, and despite regular chiropractic care, he wasn’t getting the progress he wanted. His chiropractor suggested shockwave therapy. After one five-minute treatment, Rod says he was pain-free and has remained that way for a long time.
In this episode of the Shockwave Tissue Regeneration Therapy Podcast, Thomas Helfrich sits down with Rod at The National by the Florida Chiropractic Association to talk about the experience that turned him from a skeptic into what he now calls a “firm believer.”
But their conversation also raises a bigger question: How much trust are patients placing in their providers when they agree to try a technology they know very little about?
In this episode, you’ll learn:
What made Rod skeptical of shockwave therapy before his first treatment.
What he experienced after a single five-minute treatment for his neck.
Why trust in his chiropractor ultimately mattered more than understanding the technology himself.
How that experience changed the conversations Rod now has with physicians and specialists through his work in medical sales.
Why providers have a responsibility to research the devices and technologies they recommend to their patients.
Most patients aren’t going to research every device in the treatment room. Rod didn’t, but trusted his provider to do that work for him.
His story starts with something that sounded “too good to be true” and ends with a bigger conversation about shockwave therapy, patient trust, and the responsibility that comes with recommending a treatment.
