What is Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy?

Healing Acceleration | Pain Relief| Breakdown of Calcification

 

Radial Shockwave therapy is a cutting-edge technology that uses high-intensity sound wave that travels through the skin to break down targeted scar/fibrotic tissues and stimulate tissue repair. The shockwave penetrates up to 4cm deep and causes therapeutic cavitation bubbles and microscopic biological effects within the tissue, and ultimately incites body’s healing mechanisms.

 

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy is frequently effective where previous conservative management has failed to resolve notoriously stubborn complaints, especially in the case of a chronic heel and Achilles tendon pain.
