About
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in tendons, ligaments, and soft tissues. It’s clinically proven to reduce pain, break down scar tissue, and improve blood flow in stubborn injury sites such as the heel, shoulder, or elbow. Safe, effective, and fast-acting, it’s the perfect choice for patients seeking an alternative to surgery or prolonged medication.
