How Shockwave Therapy Works ?

Shockwave therapy uses high-energy sound wave pulses to target damaged soft tissues at the source. These waves stimulate natural cellular regeneration, improve blood circulation, and speed up the body’s healing process.

For enhanced results, we often combine shockwave therapy with advanced Sanexas electric signaling technology. This powerful pairing not only provides deeper, longer-lasting pain relief but also supports nerve regeneration making it especially effective for patients with neuropathy and chronic nerve pain.
