Shockwave Therapy in Langley from Divine Care Physio

Don’t worry. Don’t be scared. It is not a therapy where you are given a shock. Shockwave therapy uses a device which generates acoustic waves which are transmitted to the tissues with the help of an applicator. It triggers a biological effect which helps the healing process and formation of healthy tissues. 

Benefits of Shockwave therapy:

• New blood vessel formation
• Helps to dissolve the calcification
