“Extra-Corporeal” Shock Wave Therapy is a new technology using shockwaves to treat chronic painful conditions of the musculoskeletal system.
A shockwave is an intense but very short energy wave travelling faster than the speed of sound. The word “Extra-corporeal” means “outside the body” and refers to the fact that the shockwaves are generated outside the body.
Shockwave therapy treatment is very effective for plantar fasciitis, achilles tendonitis, and other tissue pathologies.
