Shock wave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. The therapy works by delivering high-energy sound waves to injured areas, which helps to:

Promote blood flow to speed up healing

Stimulate collagen production for stronger, healthier tissue

Reduce pain by breaking down scar tissue and calcifications

Shock Wave Therapy is now widely used for musculoskeletal conditions and is particularly popular among athletes and active individuals.

Shock wave therapy can effectively treat various types of soft-tissue and musculoskeletal pain, including:

• Plantar Fasciitis: Helps reduce pain in the heel and promote healing.

• Achilles Tendonitis: Ideal for addressing inflammation and scar tissue in the Achilles tendon.

• Tennis Elbow: Breaks down scar tissue and improves blood flow to the elbow joint.

• Rotator Cuff Injuries: Can relieve shoulder pain and improve mobility.

• Shin Splints: Effective in reducing inflammation in the lower leg.

• Hip and Lower Back Pain: Enhances circulation and reduces discomfort in these areas.
