What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured or irritated tissues.
It is particularly effective for long-standing tendon conditions, where natural healing has slowed or stalled. The treatment works by increasing blood flow, promoting tissue regeneration and reducing pain sensitivity.
At NK Active, shockwave therapy is always used as part of a wider treatment plan, ensuring that the underlying cause of your symptoms is also addressed.
