Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment option offered to patients at our clinic which utilizes very short energy waves to heal many chronic and painful orthopedic conditions. The therapy works by sending abrupt, high-amplitude pulses of mechanical energy similar to sound waves into the body at specific problem areas. These shockwaves pass through the uninjured portions of the body without any effect and deliver the energy to a focus point at the level of the injured tissue.
The increased circulation to the affected areas of the body promote self healing and quicker recovery from injury. Additionally, the shockwaves break down deposits of calcification that are found in joints, soft tissue, and spurs
