What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that helps promote tissue healing and reduce pain. Our clinic’s Storz Radial Shockwave machine provides quick & short bursts of pulsating kinetic energy waves to stimulate injured tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments, bone, etc.) at a cellular level to promote a healing response and to reduce pain.
