Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that boosts the body’s natural healing process. It helps to release growth factors in the injured tissue. Shock wave therapy is a relatively new treatment choice, with many studies that have supported its use. The first shock wave therapy device was introduced in Europe in the 1980s and has been used for decades to treat musculoskeletal injuries.

The high-energy Shock waves are created and directed at tissues and bones. These waves cause microtrauma (tiny tears or cracks) in the tissue that can heal faster than normal healing processes. In addition, shock Wave Therapy will relieve pain in various body parts. Shockwave therapy is also called EPAT, or extracorporeal pulse activation technology.

Shockwave therapy can address secondary issues caused by orthopaedic surgeries. Nowadays, shockwaves are widely used in musculoskeletal medicine to stimulate the metabolism and circulation of chronically damaged tissue that has failed to heal naturally. Long-term issues, such as plantar fasciitis, anserine bursitis and frozen shoulder, can now be effectively improved in just 3-4 treatments. Shock Waves can relieve pain and promote healing for tendinopathy and other difficult-to-heal ligament injuries.
