How does Shockwave Therapy work so much more effectively than treatments like massage?
Shockwave Therapy penetrates very strong energy that is targeted deep directly into the damaged tissue to initiate an inflammatory response in the body. This is what kick starts the body's natural healing response to increase blood flow to the area to repair the damaged tissue.
