Shockwave Therapy (incl. SoftWave)
Focused acoustic waves are delivered into injured tissue to stimulate circulation and the cell repair process in chronically irritated tendons, ligaments, muscle and fascia. The aim is a genuine healing response rather than masking symptoms.
Commonly used for
- Tennis elbow, jumper's knee and shoulder tendinopathy
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Soft-tissue pain, tightness and restricted mobility
- Overuse injuries that are slow to heal
What a session is like
Performed in the office in minutes with no incisions or anesthesia and little to no downtime. It combines easily with chiropractic care, exercise and soft-tissue work.
Good to know
Usually given as a short series of sessions; improvement builds over several weeks as tissue remodels.
