Shockwave Therapy Services Vancouver
Shockwave Therapy, also known as ESWT is a highly effective, non surgical treatment method that can successfully address acute and chronic pain by sending strong mechanical pulses that penetrate tissue to stimulate cellular connective tissue healing.
Our Shockwave Therapy in Vancouver, BC works by helping to improve the regenerative potential, enhancing blood circulation and healing of damaged tissue. Its main assets are pain relief and mobility restoration.
