Shockwave therapy uses mechanical shockwaves to treat chronic tendon and muscle injuries that have failed to respond to conventional physiotherapy or other approaches. Shockwaves initiate an inflammatory response within the injured tendon to promote healing through an increase in circulation and metabolism. Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive therapeutic approach which is proven highly effective in treating chronic tendinopathies. Relatively pain free and very effective in the treatment of heel pain, tennis elbow, achilles strains and more.
