Empower Sports Chiropractic Wins Best of Forsyth Therapy Award!

We’re proud to share that Empower Sports Chiropractic earned its first Best of Forsyth award in the Therapy-Specialty category.



This community recognition means a lot to us. It honors the trust patients place in our care and the strong relationships we’ve built across Forsyth County. As a Cumming, GA chiropractor focused on forward-thinking treatments like Shockwave Therapy, we are deeply grateful to everyone who voted and supported our team.

What Winning Best of Forsyth Means to Us

Winning this award marks a significant milestone for us. 

We were chosen over 11 other talented healthcare providers in the Therapy-Specialty category. This recognition placed us among 292 local businesses, groups, and individuals honored at the 12th annual Best of Forsyth awards ceremony, held on Wednesday night, January 28, 2026, at the Forsyth Conference Center.



Because this honor is community-voted, it comes straight from the people we serve, and that makes it especially rewarding.

Why Shockwave Therapy Is Our Signature Service

Shockwave therapy, also called extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), uses focused acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. Research indicates that ESWT is a non-invasive option that improves blood flow, helps break down scar tissue, and speeds the body’s natural repair process.

We’ve made shockwave therapy a signature service because it often succeeds where traditional treatments fall short.

Dr. Croskey has completed advanced training in shockwave techniques and stays current with the evidence, ensuring our care is grounded in best practices. We’ve invested in modern shockwave equipment that allows us to tailor protocols to each patient’s condition.



As a local chiropractor, we offer advanced shockwave therapy in Cumming, helping active people and athletes accelerate recovery and get back to what they love faster than conventional approaches alone.

Conditions We Treat with Shockwave Therapy

Sports Injuries

Shockwave therapy is especially effective for sports-related problems like tendonitis, muscle strains, and overuse injuries. Studies in sports medicine highlight its benefits for athletes.



We’ve helped runners recover from chronic Achilles tendonitis, tennis players overcome elbow pain, and weekend warriors heal rotator cuff issues. The treatment helps speed repair so athletes can return to play sooner.

Chronic Pain Conditions

For people with long-standing pain, shockwave therapy is a non-surgical alternative to medications or procedures.



We commonly treat plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and persistent shoulder pain. Many patients come to us after trying other options without lasting relief; shockwaves can reduce pain without the risks or downtime of surgery.

Musculoskeletal Issues

Joint pain, trigger points, and limited mobility often respond well to shockwaves.

The therapy can break up calcifications, release tight muscles, and restore range of motion. Whether hip pain is limiting daily tasks or neck tension is causing headaches, shockwave targets the underlying tissue dysfunction to promote more durable healing.

What Patients Can Expect from Our Shockwave Therapy Treatment

A typical shockwave session takes about 5–10 minutes at the injured area. Most people describe the sensation as firm pressure with a tapping feeling — tolerable and not overly painful.

Protocols usually involve 3–5 sessions spaced about one week apart, though we personalize the schedule based on your condition and how you respond.



Many patients notice improvement after one or two visits, with steady gains in the weeks that follow as healing progresses. One major benefit is that there’s no downtime — you can resume normal activities right after treatment. We’ll give you specific guidance for your situation so you can keep moving while you recover.

What Sets Empower Sports Chiropractic Apart

We put community-centered care first, and this Best of Forsyth award underscores that focus.

Rather than only treating symptoms, we aim to find and correct root causes so you can build resilience against future injuries. Patient education is a core part of our approach, which is why we explain what’s happening in your body and why a chosen treatment will help.



We continually invest in advanced technology and ongoing training so our care stays evidence-based and effective, adhering to principles that guide optimal patient outcomes. With a convenient Cumming location, Forsyth County residents can access specialized sports chiropractic care without going into Atlanta.
