Shockwave therapy

Extra Corporeal Shockwave therapy is a relatively new treatment modality for musculoskeletal conditions. It is a non-invasive but powerful treatment providing a deeper penetration of up to 50 mm of human tissue. This modality utilizes relatively higher energy levels compared to traditional modalities now used by physical therapists, yet appears to have minimal complications associated with its use.

Shockwave therapy accelerates the healing process in the body by stimulating the metabolism and enhancing blood circulation to regenerate damaged tissue. Strong energy pulses are applied to the affected area. With this innovative therapy approach, pathological alterations of tendons, ligaments, capsules, muscles and bones can be healed systematically.
