WHAT IS SHOCKWAVE THERAPY?
Shockwave Therapy stimulates and speeds up the healing process allowing your body to repair itself. Research studies have shown approximately 80% success rate once all underlying issues are addressed.
HOW DOES SHOCKWAVE THERAPY WORK?
- Shockwave Therapy is a series of energetic shockwaves applied to the area that needs treatment
- A shockwave is a purely mechanical wave, not an electric one, the treatment initiates an inflammation-like condition in the tissue that is being treated
- The body responds by increasing the blood circulation and metabolism in the impact area which in turn accelerates the body’s own healing processes
- The shockwaves break down injured tissue and calcification
