Shockwave therapy involves a series of shockwave pulses which generates sound waves by an air compressor that are applied to the injured area.

Shockwave Therapy helps regenerate new tissue and facilitates healing by:

• Improving local blood flow
• Stimulations of fibroblasts to increase collagen production
• Reduction of pain through the reduction in substance P
• Reduction of local muscle tension trigger points
• Breakdown of calcium deposits

The current research shows that Shockwave therapy has high success rates of up to 70-80%.

• Plantar fasciitis/Heel spurs
