Shockwaves, also known as acoustic waves or sound waves, are one of the most efficient ways to dissipate energy. Using a revolutionary technique, we can introduce acoustic pulses to painful, inflamed, or weak areas of the body to improve blood flow and stimulate natural healing. Whether you are suffering from mobility issues, chronic pain, or sexual dysfunction, shockwave therapy is an incredibly safe, effective, and natural solution.

HOW Shockwave Therapy Works
Shockwave therapy is performed using a multi-application device that carries high-energy acoustic pulses to areas of the body afflicted by pain, inflammation, or poor circulation.

It also increases circulation and breaks up:

We will first palpate the target area to ensure precise delivery of your shockwave therapy. We will then apply a topical gel that will help efficiently transfer the acoustic waves. The shockwave device will touch your skin, and you will feel a mild tapping sensation. Treatments can take as little as five minutes, and you can go back to your daily activities with no downtime.
The number of treatments will vary depending on the condition that we are treating and your body’s healing response. Typically, the best results are achieved with 3–5 treatments, though patients often feel relief after just one session.
