What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy is a sound-based method of breaking up scar tissue. This sends highly focused sound waves into the areas of your body identified to have scar tissue build-up. Those sound waves are set at a frequency that specifically targets and breaks down scar tissue. Scar tissue is what causes people to stiffen after trauma and with aging.

Our bodies form scar tissue from little injuries (poor posture, repetitive stress, holding children, etc.) to big ones (car accidents, falls, etc.). Scar tissue accumulates over time, just like plaque on teeth, limiting movement and causing pain. When you break up the scar tissue you can restore movement – and the pain disappears.

Revolutionary Pain and Performance Enhancement Therapy

This cutting edge therapy is ideal for you if you’ve gotten to the point where you’ve learned to ignore pain because there hasn’t been relief. You’ve tried exercise, no exercise, ice, heat, stretching, yoga…but you just can’t make any progress. There are many advantages including:
  • Pain relief
  • Increased mobility
  • Improved circulation
This is achieved by stimulating the body’s regeneration process. These sound (acoustic compression) waves work much like the deepest therapeutic massage, with a long-lasting effect, breaking up scar tissue and releasing proteins and growth factor which accelerate healing. Pain is reduced and motion is restored. The process is non-invasive and works quickly. Shockwave Therapy treats a number of conditions including:
  • Trigger points
  • Patella (knee cap) pain
  • Morton’s Neuroma
  • Shin splints
  • Iliotibial (IT) Band Syndrome
  • Golfer’s elbow
  • Hamstrings Tendonitis
