What Is Shock Wave Therapy?
Shock Wave Therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to target affected tissues and stimulate healing. These acoustic waves increase blood flow, trigger cellular repair mechanisms, and break down scar tissue or calcifications that contribute to pain and stiffness. The therapy is typically performed in short sessions with minimal downtime, making it convenient for ongoing care.
How Shock Wave Therapy Works
During treatment, a handheld device delivers precise acoustic waves to the injured or painful area. These waves stimulate circulation, accelerate tissue regeneration, and trigger the body’s natural repair processes. Over a series of sessions, patients often experience reduced pain, improved flexibility, and faster recovery from chronic injuries or degenerative conditions.
