Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a modern and effective therapy that uses high intensity sound waves to heal musculoskeletal pathologies. Shockwave therapy promotes healing of injured structured elements by breaking down scar tissue, as well as stimulating metabolism, vascularization and cellular repair of damaged tissue.

Our Approach

Shockwave therapy has become a golden standard approach to dealing with conditions related to sports and repetitive injuries, trauma, degenerative disorders and post-surgical recovery by stimulating repair and healing of torn and inflamed tissues, as well as breaking down scar tissue, calcification and bony spurs. It can be used as sole modality or in combination with other therapeutic approaches in order to repair tissue and function.
