How Does It Work?

With shockwave therapy, a series of low-energy acoustic wave pulsations are applied to a particular injury through a patient’s skin. Completely painless, the therapy stimulates a microtrauma to the tissue that’s affected by the problem. The microtrauma then promotes a healing response by the body.

The healing response causes the formation of blood vessels and increases the delivery of nutrients to the affected area.

Given the opioid crisis that’s affecting our country, more and more people are looking for drug-free solutions to address their pain. Shockwave therapy is entirely natural and effective, according to various studies.
