Shockwave Therapy
Non-invasive treatment for chronic tendon and soft-tissue pain
About Shockwave
Shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves to trigger the body's own repair response in tissue that has stopped healing on its own. It is particularly effective for chronic tendon problems that haven't responded to rest, stretching, or injections. We use the STORZ MEDICAL DUOLITH SD1 «ultra». Treatment sessions run five to ten minutes, require no anesthesia, and involve no recovery time — most patients go straight back to their day.

What to Expect
A handheld applicator is placed against the treatment area and delivers acoustic pulses directly into the tissue. Most patients describe it as mildly uncomfortable but very tolerable. Sessions take five to ten minutes and you can return to normal activity immediately.
