Shockwave
Sound waves energy delivered to injured soft tissue to stimulate the repair and generation of cells
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy — which is also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy — is administered to a tendon or muscle through the skin with a small, handheld device that’s similar to an ultrasound wand.
Shockwave is a modality that delivers sound waves to the injured soft tissue. The sound waves stimulate blood flow to the treated area of your body. Increased blood flow causes a small amount of localized inflammation. Your body will work to naturally heal this inflammation, which stimulates the repair and generation of cells.
Shockwave Therapy Benefits
Shockwave therapy is often prescribed as a treatment for patients who have sports injuries like a golfer’s elbow, tennis elbow, or pulled hamstring. It’s also administered to patients who experience pain in their soft tissues, such as that caused by plantar fasciitis — a painful condition that affects the heels of the feet.

Secret Weapon Against Cellulite
Numerous research studies provide scientific evidence that Shockwave therapy is the only treatment that works in reducing the effect of cellulite versus any other treatment technique.
Shockwave therapy operates by effectively breaking down fat cells and rejuvenating the flexibility of connective tissue within the affected areas. This dual action not only reduces the dimpling and uneven texture characteristic of cellulite but also leads to skin that appears tighter and smoother. With numerous research studies backing its efficacy, Shockwave therapy continues to offer hope to those seeking to achieve a more confident and radiant appearance.
