▌WHAT IS SHOCKWAVE?

Shockwave Therapy

Focused Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted acoustic waves to stimulate tissues and support the body's natural healing response.

This therapy may be considered for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including tendon-related conditions, plantar fasciitis, trigger points, and areas of persistent tissue irritation.

▌HOW DOES SHOCKWAVE THERAPY WORK?

Targeted Energy. Natural Response.

Focused Shockwave Therapy uses acoustic energy to create a controlled mechanical stimulus within targeted tissues. The waves are delivered through the skin and directed toward the area being treated.

When the acoustic waves reach the targeted tissue, they create changes in the local mechanical environment. This stimulation may encourage increased blood flow, cellular activity, and collagen production while supporting the body's natural tissue response.

The therapy may also help address calcified deposits in certain conditions and support the normal mobility and function of soft tissues.

Rather than using medication or injections, focused shockwave therapy uses acoustic energy to stimulate a response within the targeted area.

Focused shockwave therapy can be used on a variety of areas throughout the body, including the following:
