Extracorporeal shockwave therapy delivers acoustic pulses to injured tendons, ligaments and muscle to stimulate circulation and the body's repair response. It is used for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tendinopathies of the shoulder, elbow, hip and knee, and chronic muscle pain.
Treatments are short, usually fifteen to thirty minutes, and are often combined with chiropractic or acupuncture in the same visit. Shockwave is billed at a flat cash rate.
