Lobacz Chiropractic is a specialty chiropractic clinic in Evansville, Indiana focused on non-surgical care for knee pain, neuropathy, and chronic joint conditions using shockwave and laser therapy.”
If nerve discomfort in your feet or hands is affecting your sleep, balance, mobility, or independence — you’re not alone.
Many people live with neuropathy symptoms for years without real answers.
Our clinic offers a conservative, non-surgical approach focused on improving nerve function, mobility, and quality of life.
We offer a Specialist Evaluation & Trial Session.
Our practice operates on a selective model.
Your first visit functions as a trial of care, allowing both you and our doctor to determine whether our methods are the right fit for your condition.
Ongoing care is offered by invitation only, based on clinical findings and your response to treatment.

You may be experiencing:
Burning or tingling in your feet or hands
Numbness or “walking on cotton balls” sensation
Cramping, weakness, or loss of balance
Sharp electric-like pains
Restless legs or night-time discomfort
Cold or hypersensitive feet
Difficulty standing or walking long distances
If you’re tired of being told “there’s nothing more we can do,” there are still options to explore.

We Do Things Differently
Instead of masking symptoms, our goal is to identify what may be contributing to your nerve irritation and poor circulation, and apply targeted therapies designed to support:
✔ Nerve circulation
✔ Tissue healing environment
✔ Healthy nerve signaling
✔ Mobility & joint function
✔ Reduced stress on affected areas
Typical care plans may include a combination of:
• Gentle neuropathy-focused therapies
• Laser/light therapy
• Shockwave where appropriate
• Structural & movement-based care
• Home-care guidance
• Lifestyle and supportive recommendations
We do not prescribe medications and we do not replace your neurologist or primary care physician. Our role is supportive, conservative care.
We do not claim to cure neuropathy.
Many patients report improvement in areas such as:
Comfort and mobility
Sleep quality
Stability and balance
Functional ability & confidence
Results vary depending on severity, duration, and overall health.


Many patients are told nothing can be done — or they must simply “live with it.”
That may not be the case.
While not every case of neuropathy can be reversed, there are many patients who experience meaningful improvement in comfort, mobility, and quality of life with the right plan.
Early care matters — nerves heal slowly.

Many Evansville residents live with ongoing joint or soft tissue pain that hasn’t improved with rest, physical therapy, or injections. Knee pain, heel pain, shoulder discomfort, and tendon-related issues often linger longer than expected, limiting daily activities and quality of life. Lobacz Chiropractic is here to help.
Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical treatment option that has gained attention for its ability to support healing in chronic musculoskeletal conditions—without drugs or invasive procedures.
Shockwave therapy uses acoustic (sound) waves that are applied directly to injured or degenerated tissue. These waves are designed to stimulate circulation, encourage cellular activity, and support the body’s natural repair processes.
Unlike injections or surgery, shockwave therapy is:
Non-invasive
Drug-free
Performed in-office
Designed to address chronic tissue irritation
It is commonly used when pain has persisted despite traditional care.
In Evansville and surrounding communities, shockwave therapy is often used for:
Knee pain related to tendon or joint irritation
Plantar fasciitis and chronic heel pain
Shoulder pain and rotator cuff-related issues
Tendon pain in the elbow, hip, or Achilles
Chronic soft tissue injuries
Shockwave therapy is especially considered when symptoms have lasted several months or longer.
Many chronic pain conditions involve poor circulation and reduced tissue healing. Over time, the body may struggle to repair damaged tissue due to repeated stress, inflammation, or degeneration.
This is why treatments focused only on symptom management—such as medications or injections—may provide temporary relief without long-term improvement.
Shockwave therapy is designed to address this challenge by supporting tissue health at the source.
Shockwave therapy is intended to:
Improve blood flow to injured tissue
Support cellular regeneration
Reduce chronic inflammation
Promote tissue remodeling
Help restore normal movement patterns
Because of these effects, many patients seek shockwave therapy as an alternative to more invasive options.
A typical shockwave therapy session:
Is performed in-office
Takes approximately 10–15 minutes
Does not involve needles or medication
Is generally well-tolerated
Most care plans involve a series of sessions spaced over several weeks, depending on the condition and severity.
Many Evansville patients explore shockwave therapy because it:
Avoids steroid exposure
Does not involve surgical recovery
Allows patients to remain active
Focuses on tissue healing rather than masking pain
While not appropriate for every condition, shockwave therapy is often considered before invasive procedures.
Shockwave therapy may be appropriate if:
Pain has lasted longer than 6–8 weeks
Other treatments have not resolved symptoms
You want to avoid injections or surgery
Pain is limiting work, exercise, or daily activities
A comprehensive evaluation is necessary to determine whether this approach is appropriate for your specific condition.
If you live in Evansville, Newburgh, Henderson, or the surrounding area and are dealing with chronic joint or soft tissue pain, shockwave therapy may be a non-surgical option worth exploring. Get your shockwave therapy at Lobacz Chiropractic.
The goal of conservative care is to support healing, improve mobility, and help patients return to the activities they enjoy—without invasive procedures.
If you’re interested in learning whether shockwave therapy may be appropriate for your condition, an evaluation can help determine the best course of care based on your individual needs. We're ready to help you to take your next step at Lobacz Chiropractic's.
FAQs
Quick Answers to Your Neuropathy Questions
In some cases, yes. Neuropathy improvement depends on whether the nerves are capable of responding to increased circulation and stimulation. Our care is designed to support nerve function, not simply mask symptoms.
Nerves heal slowly and require repeated stimulation over time. One or two treatments do not provide sufficient cumulative effect for nerve adaptation or repair.
Single visits do not allow for proper laser dosing, monitoring, or clinical decision-making. Neuropathy care must be program-based to be effective and ethical.
No. Some cases are not appropriate for this type of care. We prioritize honesty over optimism.
Most neuropathy patients are treated twice per week. Less frequent care often fails to produce meaningful improvement.
Some patients notice early symptom changes within the first few weeks. Others experience more subtle changes initially. Improvement timelines vary based on severity, duration, and overall health.
If objective or subjective improvement is not observed, care is discontinued and other options are discussed. We do not continue care without evidence of benefit.
Neuropathy programs are typically not covered by insurance. Care is provided on a cash basis due to its specialized, non-surgical nature.
