What is shockwave therapy?

It is a non-surgical therapy that can speed up recovery and provide relief from common acute or chronic pains.

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a treatment used in physical therapy, orthopaedics, urology and cardiology. The shock waves provided by the device are abrupt, high amplitude pulses of mechanical energy, similar to sound waves, generated by an electromagnetic coil or a spark in water.
