When Pain Just Won’t Go Away
If you’ve been dealing with pain for months rather than weeks, it’s often a sign that the injured tissue has stopped healing properly.
Chronic tendon and soft tissue injuries can become:
Degenerative rather than inflamed
Poorly supplied with blood
Resistant to rest, stretching, or exercise alone
This is where Shockwave Therapy can play a key role.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy is an evidence-based treatment that uses high-energy sound waves applied directly to the injured area.
These sound waves:
Stimulate the body’s natural healing response
Increase blood flow to damaged tissue
Encourage tissue regeneration
Help reduce pain and improve function
Shockwave doesn’t mask symptoms — it aims to restart the healing process.
Conditions Commonly Treated with Shockwave Therapy
