External Shock Wave Therapy has emerged as a non-invasive, non-surgical breakthrough solution for a variety of chronic tendon concerns including:
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Achilles Tendonitis
- Tennis Elbow
- Shoulder Tendonitis
- and more
Low-energy shock wave treatments are given as a series and are typically not painful. It is thought to work by inducing microtrauma to the tissue to initiate a healing response by the body. The healing response causes blood vessel formation and increased delivery of nutrients to the affected area to stimulate a repair process and relieve the symptoms of pain.
