Shockwave Therapy San Diego

Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes low-energy acoustic wave pulsations administered to an injured area. The procedure's goal is to activate the body's natural healing response. Scientific studies have successfully established Shockwave therapy as a standalone treatment for injury—or illness-induced pain.

Benefits Of Shockwave Therapy

• The treatment is non-surgical

How does Shockwave Therapy work?

Requiring a significantly reduced energy than in medical applications, shockwave therapy, or extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), is utilized in treating several musculoskeletal conditions, especially those involving connective tissues such as ligaments and tendons.

Shockwave treatment is often performed once a week for 3-6 weeks, depending on results. The treatment can elicit some discomfort, but that doesn't last very long—usually 4-5 minutes. The intensity can be altered so that you experience a higher level of comfort.
