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.
