How Shockwave Therapy Works
At Best of Care Physiotherapy, shockwave therapy is administered by our skilled professionals who deliver focused, high-energy sound waves to the targeted area of your body. These sound waves penetrate deep into the tissues, creating microtrauma that triggers the body’s natural healing response. This process increases blood flow to the affected area, bringing essential nutrients and oxygen to help repair damaged tissues.
The therapy is typically performed over a series of sessions, each lasting about 15-20 minutes. While some patients may experience mild discomfort during the treatment, this is generally minimal and temporary. Over time, the cumulative effect of these sessions at Best of Care Physiotherapy leads to significant improvements in pain reduction, tissue repair, and overall function.
