What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment for chronic pain, sporting injuries and common tendinopathies. It works by delivering impulses of high energy to painful spots, stimulating blood flow, accelerating healing, and rapidly reducing pain in bones, tendons and soft tissues.
Shockwave therapy is completely safe, non-surgical and incredibly effective, with the vast majority of patients reporting significant or total pain relief after treatment.
