Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy, is a non-invasive medical treatment, commonly applied to treat chronic pain conditions and soft tissue (muscle, ligament, tendon) injuries. The process involves the usage of acoustic waves (high energy sound waves) to encourage tissue healing in various musculoskeletal conditions (i.e. plantar fasciitis, achilles tendinitis, calcific shoulder pain, tennis/golfer elbow, patellar tendonitis, meniscus injury, and other chronic musculoskeletal conditions).
Shockwave therapy can be used as adjunct therapy with chiropractic care to enhance recovery.
