•Function: Delivers shockwaves to stimulate blood flow, cell growth, and potentially break down scar tissue in the injured area.


•Conditions: Often used for chronic tendonitis, plantar fasciitis (heel pain), and other soft tissue injuries.


•Benefits: May reduce pain and improve healing, potentially offering an alternative to surgery for some conditions.
