Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1. What exactly is shockwave therapy?

    Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses sound wave energy to target injured or painful areas in your body. Think of it like a gentle but powerful pulse that travels through your skin and into the tissue underneath. It helps kick-start your body's natural healing process, especially in spots where healing has slowed down or stopped.
