What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes acoustic sound waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. It’s designed to relieve pain and promote the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues by enhancing blood circulation and stimulating cellular repair mechanisms.
How It Works:
During your shockwave therapy session, a handheld device will be used to deliver high-energy sound waves to the targeted area. These waves penetrate deep into the tissues, promoting increased blood flow, breaking down scar tissue, and stimulating the production of collagen. The process helps accelerate tissue repair and regeneration, leading to pain relief and improved function.
