Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy delivers focused acoustic pulses into injured tissue to kick-start the body's own healing response, especially useful for the stubborn tendon problems that haven't settled with rest alone.
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) uses high-energy acoustic waves to increase blood flow, stimulate cellular repair, and break down the scar tissue and calcification that keep chronic injuries lingering.
It's non-invasive and drug-free. A typical course is a short series of brief sessions, often combined with soft-tissue work and corrective exercise so the tissue both heals and rebuilds its capacity to handle load.
