Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment using high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing and alleviate pain in various musculoskeletal conditions.

How Does Shockwave
Therapy Work?

Shockwave therapy involves using high-energy sound waves to increase blood flow to an injured area. When these waves reach the body, they interact with tissues, triggering the body’s natural healing response by stimulating cell regeneration.
