SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
___________
ABOUT Shockwave Therapy
Flex is proud to now offer Shockwave Therapy, a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to promote healing and reduce pain in injured tissues. It’s an effective solution for chronic musculoskeletal conditions and helps accelerate the body’s natural repair processes.
​
Our therapy targets problem areas by increasing blood flow, stimulating tissue regeneration, and breaking down scar tissue or calcifications. This leads to improved mobility, reduced discomfort, and faster recovery.
​
How Shockwave Therapy Works:
-
The device delivers controlled acoustic waves to the affected area.
-
These waves increase blood flow, stimulate cell regeneration, and reduce pain and inflammation.
-
The therapy helps break down scar tissue and calcifications, improving mobility and function.
