Extracorporeal Radial Shockwave Therapy
What is extracorporeal radial shockwave
therapy?
The word extracorporeal means “Outside of the body” which refers to the way the therapy is applied. Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical treatment which works by delivering high energy sound waves to damaged or injured soft tissue.


How does it work?
Shockwave therapy triggers an inflammatory response, prompting the body to increase blood circulation and metabolic activity in the affected area. This enhanced response accelerates the natural healing process, breaking down damaged tissue and calcifications. The therapy not only
stimulates tissue repair but also provides an immediate reduction in pain and improved mobility. Shockwave therapy may also help reduce the likelihood of requiring surgery in the future, making it a highly effective, non-invasive treatment option.
