Shockwave Therapy

What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy is a technology using shockwaves to treat chronic painful conditions of the musculo-skeletal system. A shockwave is an intense energy burst or wave, travelling at faster than the speed of sound. The basic science behind shockwaves came from a technique of using shockwaves to break up kidney stones. After receiving this treatment, subjects started to experience other unrelated aches and pains reducing, or disappearing all together. It was at this point in time when scientists realized that shockwave therapy could be used to heal other musculo-skeletal conditions.
