Shockwave therapy (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy – ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate healing in injured or painful tissues.
It is commonly used for conditions such as:
- Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
- Shoulder tendinopathy
- Calcific shoulder pain
- Chronic muscle and tendon injuries
Unlike temporary pain relief methods, shockwave therapy targets the root cause of chronic pain by stimulating tissue repair and blood flow.
Why Choose Shockwave Therapy?
Many patients in Woodstock and surrounding areas choose shockwave therapy because it:
- Promotes natural healing without surgery
- Reduces chronic pain and inflammation
- Improves mobility and function
- Works well for long-standing injuries that haven’t responded to other treatments
- Requires little to no downtime
Most people begin noticing improvements within just a few sessions, depending on the condition and severity.
