Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. These sound impulses help increase blood flow, promote tissue regeneration, and break down scar tissue, adhesions, calcifications, and trigger points that may be contributing to pain and restricted movement.
Shockwave therapy is commonly used to treat chronic soft tissue, tendon, and ligament conditions, including:
Plantar fasciitis
Achilles tendinitis
Tennis elbow
Shoulder tendinopathy
Knee arthritis
Other persistent musculoskeletal injuries
By targeting the source of pain and dysfunction, shockwave therapy can help reduce discomfort, improve mobility, and support long-term recovery without the need for surgery or medication.
