What is Pressure Wave Therapy?
Non-invasive therapy designed to support recovery and mobility.
Pressure wave or shockwave therapy, also referred to as ESWT (extracorporeal shockwave therapy), is a highly effective treatment method using high-energy sound waves to provide pain relief. It is one of the most advanced and highly effective non-invasive treatment methods approved by the FDA. The treatment works by helping to improve the regenerative potential of your own body, enhancing blood circulation, and stimulating stem cells in the fat to regenerate and repair damaged tissue. Pressure wave therapy can also break up scar tissue, adhesions, and calcifications that can interfere with muscle, ligament, or joint function.
Pressure wave therapy can successfully address acute and chronic pain in the knee, heel, foot, ankle, hamstring, back, neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, or hand. It is used to address sports injuries as well as many chronic pain conditions.
ESWT even works on old injuries! Living with the pain of something that happened in your younger years is no longer necessary.
