SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Shockwave Therapy in Physiotherapy
Shockwave Therapy, a cutting-edge addition to physiotherapy, leverages acoustic waves to provide pain relief and promote healing. Rooted in advanced technology, it offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional treatments, targeting various musculoskeletal conditions effectively.
How Shockwave Therapy Works:
Shockwave Therapy works by delivering high-energy acoustic waves to the affected tissues. These waves stimulate cellular repair, enhance blood circulation, and accelerate the body’s intrinsic healing processes. As a result, patients often experience rapid pain relief and restoration of mobility.
