What is shockwave therapy?
A quick primer.
Shockwave therapy delivers focused acoustic pulses into a stalled tendon to restart the body's repair signal. It's the right tool when a tendinopathy has plateaued on stretching, ice, and rest.
At our Bressi Ranch clinic we run shockwave most for tennis elbow from local pickleball and tennis play, golfer's elbow from the La Costa Resort circuit, and patellar tendinopathy in Coast Highway runners.
