Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy
“The Gold Standard treatment in chronic musculoskeletal rehabilitation.”
Benefits & Conditions Treated By Shockwave
Shockwave therapy is a highly effective treatment method: high-energy sound waves are introduced into painful and injured tissues. These sound waves vibrate tissues, freeing restrictions. The treatment works to improve the regenerative potential, enhancing blood circulation and regenerative
capacity. Shockwave also temporarily reduces local nerve endings, relieving pain and facilitating tolerance to exercise earlier in recovery.
