Advanced Treatment for Chronic Pain and Soft Tissue Injuries
Experience Effective Pain Relief with Shockwave Therapy
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing and relieve pain in damaged tissues. At Bradley Chiropractic, our services are designed to target any chronic pain, injuries to soft tissue, and various musculoskeletal conditions you may have. Shockwave therapy penetrates deep into the affected tissues, while also breaking down scar tissue while promoting repair and regeneration of the cells. It’s an effective part of recovery, helping you return to normal activities in no time.
