Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. This therapy is particularly effective for treating chronic pain, inflammation, and various musculoskeletal conditions. At Palm Coast Health, we utilize state-of-the-art shockwave therapy technology to promote faster recovery, reduce pain, and enhance overall function, providing a safe and effective alternative to surgery and medication.
Shockwave therapy works by delivering controlled pulses of energy to the affected area, triggering the body’s natural healing processes. It helps increase blood flow, break down scar tissue, and encourage the regeneration of healthy tissues, making it ideal for patients with conditions like plantar fasciitis, tendinitis, and muscle strains.
