Shockwave Therapy

What is shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy was introduced as a treatment form in the late 1990s, but it has been gaining more attention in the last 10–15 years. Shockwave therapy is a clinically proven therapy that produces excellent results in the treatment of various injuries and helps maintain a healthy lifestyle.

In today’s world, Shockwave Therapy is used for various tendon problems and is considered an effective, non-invasive treatment that promotes accelerated healing through a series of high-energy pulses that stimulate the affected area. There is no pain associated with Shockwave Therapy, only mild discomfort in the early stages, as the pulses are physical, not electrical.
