Shockwave Therapy
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy uses rapid frequency vibration to treat areas which are inflamed and in pain. These high-frequency bursts of mechanical energy increases blood flow, reduces muscle spasms and is known to decrease pain.
Shockwave therapy is a great non-surgical alternative for conditions which cause chronic pain such as tendinitis.
Benefits
