ShockWave Therapy

SHOCKWAVE THERAPY

According to clinical studies, shockwave technology reports a 91% success rate. It treats many common injuries, including plantar fasciitis, jumper’s knee, hamstring pain, tendonitis, frozen shoulder, and much more.

Not only can shockwave therapy treat these ailments effectively, but many patients actually return to the field stronger than they were before!

Shockwaves are audible high-energy sound waves. They occur in the atmosphere, for example when lightning strikes, or when aeroplanes break through the sound barrier. In the medical world, shockwaves have been employed since around 1980 to disintegrate kidney stones. For pain and soft tissue therapy, shockwave energy is conducted from the place of generation to the painful body regions where it accelerates the healing process by activating the body’s self healing powers. The process stimulates metabolism and enhances blood circulation, damaged tissue gradually regenerates and eventually heals.
