Shockwave therapy (shock waves) is a new approach to the treatment of chronic musculoskeletal conditions, especially those that do not respond to conventional treatment methods. Shockwave therapy provides improved blood flow to the area of pain, reduces pain, and dissolves calcium from muscles {trigger points} and tendons {calcific tendonitis}.
