A shockwave is an intense, but very short energy wave traveling faster than the speed of sound. These energy waves stimulate the breakdown of scar tissue and fibroblasts. This process increases blood circulation and initiates metabolic activity, causing an inflammatory response that promotes and stimulates healing. The basic technology involved with extracorporeal shockwave technology (ESWT) has been used for decades on millions of people. It has the endorsement of the medical community and is clinically proven.

There are no side effects with this non surgical treatment and it is available at a reasonable cost. Shockwave treatments are non invasive and promote accelerated recovery of injured soft tissue, bone, heel and joint pain.

Therapy sessions are short, usually 5-30 minutes in length, and provide successful relief of chronic pain and restore mobility painlessly. Permanent relief typically begins about 72 hours following treatment.
