How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?

Shockwave therapy is administered by a therapist. During a shockwave therapy session, the therapist will direct the shockwaves to the area where you are experiencing pain. The sound waves help to break up pain and inflammation, and they also stimulate the healing process. They also help to break up any scar tissue or deposits that may be causing pain. At the same time, shockwaves stimulate the release of endorphins, which are natural pain relievers. Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive form of care that is generally well-tolerated by patients. There is no downtime associated with shockwave therapy, and most people report feeling relief after just a few sessions.

 

Who Can Benefit from Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy can be an effective modality for many different conditions, including:
