Plain-language overview
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic pressure waves applied to a targeted area. A provider may consider it as one part of a broader plan for certain musculoskeletal concerns.
The device is positioned at the selected area and settings are controlled during treatment. The website does not claim that this process regenerates tissue, reverses damage, heals nerves, or guarantees lasting relief.
