Shock wave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to promote healing and relieve pain in injured soft tissues, ligaments, and tendons:  

Shockwave therapy was developed in Germany during the late 1960s. Researchers began studying the effects of shockwaves on the human body. They discovered that they affected different body parts in various ways. For example, electricity had little effect on fat but proved dangerous to the brain and the lungs. At this point, it was mostly used to break up painful kidney stones to make them easier for patients to pass.

In the 1990s, scientists began to study the effects of high-energy shockwave therapy on soft tissue injuries. Both high-energy and low-energy shockwave treatments work by sending pulses of energy to the injured area.  

Shockwave therapy—also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy—is administered to a tendon or muscle through the skin with a small, handheld device similar to an ultrasound wand.  

 Shock wave therapy can help with a variety of conditions, including Tendinopathy, Ligament injuries, Chronic stress fractures, Non-union fractures, and Painful tendons around the hip after surgery. 

Shock wave therapy works by:

• Stimulating the body's natural healing process
• Releasing growth factors in the injured tissue
• Increasing cell membrane permeability
• Increasing circulation around injured soft tissues
• Increasing metabolism in the treated area
• Breaking down calcium deposits/Bone spurs/Kidney Stones
• Stimulate cells that generate new bone tissue and connective tissue
• Reduce pain by overstimulating nerve endings in the affected area

All Massage Sessions include up to 10 min for Consultation/Undress/ and Dress time as part of the total service time.
