Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy for stubborn tendon pain
Understanding shockwave therapy
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that sends acoustic energy into damaged tissue. This helps stimulate circulation, cellular repair, and the natural healing response in stubborn injuries.
It is especially useful when chronic tendon or fascial pain has stopped progressing with rest alone.
Accelerated healing
Stimulate chronic injuries to re-enter a more active healing phase.
Tendon support
Target dense scar tissue, irritated tendons, and painful soft-tissue restrictions.
Kickstart your natural healing process and resolve stubborn tendon pain.
Is shockwave therapy right for you?
Shockwave therapy may be appropriate for chronic tendinopathy, plantar fascia pain, or soft-tissue irritation that has not responded well to traditional care.
