Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy
ESWT uses high-energy acoustic impulses that target deep tissues, promoting healing and
helping to reduce pain. It’s non-invasive, quick, and effective, with treatment sessions lasting
only 3-10 minutes! Your practitioner will also provide you guidance about your injury, including
activity level, home exercises, as well as provide other forms of treatment that may complement
the ESTW. No extra fee, an all-inclusive approach. Our goal is to help you get better fast.
