What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. These waves are delivered to targeted areas of the body to increase blood flow, break down scar tissue, and accelerate tissue repair.
This therapy is especially effective for chronic pain and injuries that haven’t responded well to traditional treatments. Conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, tennis elbow, shoulder pain, and muscle tightness can often see significant improvement with Shockwave Therapy.
By addressing the underlying cause of pain rather than just the symptoms, Shockwave Therapy helps restore mobility, reduce discomfort, and support long-term healing—without surgery or medication.
