Shockwave Therapy
ABOUT SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. It is particularly effective for stubborn or chronic conditions that have not responded to other treatments.
By increasing blood flow, breaking down scar tissue, and accelerating the body’s natural repair process, Shockwave Therapy can reduce pain and restore mobility without the need for medication or surgery.

What to Expect During Your Visit
During your session, a handheld device delivers focused acoustic waves to the affected area. Treatments typically last 5–15 minutes and may cause mild discomfort as the waves stimulate healing, but the intensity is adjusted to your comfort level. Many people notice improvement after just a few sessions, with long-term benefits building over time.
