What You Need to Know About Shockwave
Therapy and How it Applies to You
 How does Shockwave Therapy work?
 The therapy involves intense, but brief physical energy
waves throughout the body. The Shockwave is a high
energy wave that targets painful spots and
myoskeletal tissues. Shockwaves are analyzed by their
change in pressure, high amplitude and non-
periodicity. Healing can be hard for individuals who
have developed unhealthy and disorganized tissue in
the injury area. This is common for people who have
certain musculoskeletal and orthopaedic conditions.
Shockwave therapy helps stimulate the body’s natural
self- healing process which is effective when treating
chronic conditions and conditions that reoccur.
