SHOCKWAVE THERAPY FOR SOFT TISSUE HEALING
Soft tissue injuries, like tendonitis, muscle strains, and ligament sprains, can be frustrating to recover from, often causing long-lasting pain and limited mobility. Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), is a cutting-edge treatment that offers a non-invasive way to accelerate healing and reduce pain in soft tissues.
Key Insight:
Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves to stimulate blood flow, promote tissue regeneration, and reduce inflammation. It’s particularly effective for conditions like chronic tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and calcific shoulder tendinopathy. By stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms, shockwave therapy helps to improve tissue elasticity, reduce pain, and restore function.
