SHOCKWAVE Info
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. The shockwaves improve blood flow, break down scar tissue, and promote cell regeneration, which can help reduce pain and speed up recovery. It’s often used for conditions like tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and other musculoskeletal problems.
