What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic pulses to stimulate tissue repair, increase circulation, and break down scar tissue or calcifications.
These waves penetrate deep layers of muscles and tendons, making the therapy effective for chronic or stubborn pain.
It is commonly used to treat:
- Tendon inflammation
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendon pain
- Tennis elbow / Golfer’s elbow
- Shoulder tendonitis
- Chronic back or neck pain
- Trigger points and muscle tightness
- Knee and hip pain
Shockwave helps tissues heal faster and reduces long-standing pain.

Chronic muscle or tendon pain
