What is Focused Shockwave Therapy?
Definition: Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that delivers energy waves into the body to treat musculoskeletal conditions, primarily targeting tendons, ligaments, and muscles.
How it Works: It causes microtrauma to tissues, promoting increased blood flow, which accelerates the healing process through neovascularization and cavitation (bubbles formed by energy waves bursting in the tissue).
Common Conditions Treated: Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciopathy, tennis elbow, rotator cuff injuries, and chronic pain from conditions resistant to other treatments.
