Shockwave therapy (also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy – ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. It is widely used in sports physiotherapy Abbotsford and workplace injury physiotherapy Abbotsford for treating chronic pain conditions, especially those involving tendons and soft tissues.
Shockwave therapy works by delivering targeted acoustic waves to the affected area of the body.
Shockwaves increase blood circulation and metabolic activity in the injured tissue, promoting faster repair.
Chronic injuries often involve scar tissue buildup. Shockwave therapy helps break this down, restoring normal tissue function.
