Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that sends high-energy acoustic waves into injured tissue to stimulate healing. These quick pulses are directed at specific areas of the body to reduce pain and activate cellular repair, a process known as mechanotransduction. By improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and encouraging tissue repair, shockwave addresses the root of the problem instead of simply masking symptoms. 

Back Pain in Athletes can be frustrating.
