At Health First Group Millcreek Wellness Center, we offer Shockwave Therapy—an advanced, non-invasive treatment designed to accelerate healing and relieve chronic pain, musculoskeletal injuries, and soft tissue conditions.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy – ESWT) uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. These waves enhance blood circulation, break down scar tissue, and promote tissue regeneration, making it an effective solution for pain relief and injury recovery.
