This non-invasive therapy is highly effective for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, making it a valuable addition to our comprehensive physiotherapy services.
How Shockwave Therapy Works
Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), involves the application of high-energy sound waves to the affected areas of the body. These shockwaves are transmitted through the skin using a coupling medium, such as ultrasound gel. The therapy stimulates the body’s natural healing processes by:
- Enhancing blood circulation
- Stimulating cell repair
- Reducing inflammation
- Breaking down calcium deposits
- Promoting tissue regeneration
Shockwave Therapy Benefits
