Shockwave therapy for musculoskeletal injuries is an effective treatment option to speed up the recovery process while being completely non-invasive. By applying acoustic waves to the injured area, more blood flow can access the area, promoting healing and providing pain relief.

What To Expect with Shockwave Therapy Treatment
Shockwave therapy uses a specialized device that is applied to the injured area, which emits shockwaves that will trigger an inflammatory response so that the body can produce more blood flow to the injury. Each session will last approximately 20 minutes. Shockwave therapy is an outpatient procedure with no downtime, enabling patients to drive after each session and resume their normal activities. Many patients receive additional treatment sessions over the course of several weeks to experience the full benefit of treatment.
