Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to promote healing and relieve pain. It’s also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT).   It increases blood flow and stimulates the production of stem cells and tissue growth. It’s great for treating a variety of conditions including tendonitis, ligamentous sprains, plantar fasciitis, tennis and golfers elbow, hip impingement, knee pain, shoulder pain, adhesive capsulitis and chronic or acute pain in soft tissues and bones.

Cold laser therapy, also called low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-intensity light to stimulate the body’s natural healing process by promoting cell regeneration and increasing blood flow to injured tissues, aiming to alleviate pain and inflammation without generating significant heat, hence the term “cold” laser therapy.  Unlike surgical lasers, cold lasers emit very low levels of light energy that don’t heat the tissue. The light energy is believed to interact with cells at a cellular level, stimulating the mitochondria to produce more energy, which can lead to improved tissue repair and reduced inflammation.  It’s often used for conditions like muscle strains, joint pain, and arthritis and wound healing.
