Shockwave ESWT
What is Shockwave?
Shockwave therapy (also called Radial Pressure Wave or Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy) uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate healing in muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues. It is non-invasive and works by creating microtrauma that triggers the body’s natural repair processes.

How Does Shockwave Work?
Shockwave therapy compliments manual techniques by:
-
Breaking down adhesions and scar tissue
-
Stimulating blood flow and metabolic activity
-
Promoting collagen regeneration
-
Desensitizing pain receptors
-
Loosening hypertonic (tight) muscles before and after hands-on work
