what is shockwave therapy
Learn all about our state of the art Shockwave treatment and how ChilternWellbeing are using this technology
Shockwave Therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is an evidence based, non-invasive medical treatment that uses sound waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. It is primarily used to treat musculoskeletal conditions, particularly chronic pain in areas like the legs, ankles and feet. The therapy involves the application of shockwaves to the affected area, which promotes blood flow, stimulates cell repair, and encourages the body’s natural healing processes.
