Shockwave Therapy:
The good kind of pain
01
How it works:
Shockwave therapy or Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate tissue regeneration. The waves create microtrauma in the tissues, stimulate the body's natural healing response, and break up calcified tissue, scar tissue and adhesions.
