What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a highly effective treatment that uses sound waves to promote healing in injured tissues. These sound waves increase blood flow, stimulate the body’s natural healing processes and break down scar tissue.

Shockwave therapy has been shown to safely and effectively treat a number of conditions including tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow and rotator cuff injuries. By addressing the root cause of pain and dysfunction, ESWT offers a significant improvement in quality of life for those suffering from chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
