If you’ve ever struggled with a sports injury or dealt with an ache that just wouldn’t mend, your body might have benefited from extra help during the healing process. Shockwave therapy can offer such help, jump-starting the body’s ability to regenerate new tissue. It also decreases your pain by directly stimulating your nerves at the site of the injury. Though the name of the treatment makes it sound painful, it’s only mildly uncomfortable for most people.
Shockwave therapy may be used to:

Increase circulation around injured soft tissues
Break down calcified deposits (like kidney stones)
Stimulate cells that generate new bone tissue and connective tissue
Reduce pain by overstimulating nerve endings in the affected area
