What is Shock wave Therapy?

A type of regenerative medicine, shock wave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates the natural healing process of the body to relieve pain by healing injured ligaments, tendons, soft tissues, and other sports-related and musculoskeletal injuries.

Shock Therapy is a new treatment modality that has been developed in the world of regenerative medicine. It is performed through either focused shock wave therapy (FSWT) or radial shock wave therapy (RSWT). During the treatments, the medical experts use a handheld device to send shockwaves into the treated area that stimulate blood flow and promote the growth of new tissues. Resultantly, it reduces pain and heals tendinopathy.
