How Does Shockwave Therapy work?
Shockwave Therapy is an advanced and highly effective, evidence-based treatment that utilises acoustic energy to promote tissue repair for various musculoskeletal injuries. A specialist device and gel is applied to the affected area to send shockwave energy into the injured tissues to reduce pain and accelerate healing of stubborn injuries in tendons, ligaments muscle and bone.
Effects of Shockwave Therapy:
-
Promotes tissue regeneration

Enhances collagen synthesis

Release growth factors
-
Pain reduction via nerve ending desensitisation
-
Breaks up soft tissue calcifications
