Shockwave therapy

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that with the help of technological advancements can stimulate the body's natural healing process. The mechanical and cellular level of treatment results in reduction of pain and promote healing of injured tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues. It accomplishes this by releasing growth factors in the injured tissue at a cellular level and triggers the body’s ability to heal itself.
