What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate the body's natural healing response. It is widely used in physiotherapy, sports medicine, and rehabilitation to help manage pain, improve mobility, and support tissue repair.
The treatment delivers targeted pressure waves to injured or painful areas, promoting increased blood circulation, stimulating cell regeneration, and assisting the body in repairing damaged tissues.
