How Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) Procedure Works
The acoustic wave energy generated by the Extracorporeal Shockwave provides low energy / low pressure levels to target tissue at adjustable depths to compress and manipulate tissue resulting in a focused and precise deep tissue massage. The result leads to increased circulation and pain relief which are key components in the healing process.
