Shockwave therapy uses a handheld device that sends focused pulses of high-energy sound waves (acoustic waves) into the body’s soft tissues.
During treatment, your therapist places the applicator directly against your skin over the affected area. The device produces short bursts of sound energy that travel deep into the muscle or tendon. These pulses create tiny vibrations within the tissue that help to:
The treatment takes just a few minutes and is designed to re-start the healing process in long-term or chronic injuries that haven’t responded to rest, exercise, or other manual therapies.
