Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy is a non-invasive form of therapy where pressure waves are used to treat a wide range of conditions. The Shockwaves deliver energy into the body’s tissues.

Using a shockwave machine, the practitioner applies a non-invasive probe to the treatment area. The probe delivers the energy to the area which reduces inflammation, improves blood flow and induces healing and regeneration.
