Shockwave Therapy

What is Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT)? 

ESWT is a noninvasive treatment that involves delivery of shock waves to injured soft tissue. The shockwaves stimulate the body’s natural healing process. The healing process can relieve pain and provide healing to specific muscles such as injured tendons, ligaments, muscle, bone and nerves.

How does it do this?

Well, by releasing growth factors in the injured tissue that accelerate the body’s normal healing process.  It helps speed up the recovery of injured joints and tissue while diminishing pain and discomfort.

Clinical studies have shown that 91% of patients see successful results.
