Shockwave Therapy Leeds

Non-Surgical Solutions to Persistent Problems

Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive technology that delivers sound waves to affected areas of the body to stimulate a healing process. Shockwave therapy has become widely accepted in clinical practice for the treatment of chronic soft tissue injuries. 

Whether your injury, pain or chronic condition has been caused by wear and tear of daily activities, exercise, pregnancy, ageing or accidents, musculoskeletal disorders and soft tissue injuries can be debilitating. At Morley Chiropractic Clinic we take a low-impact non-surgical route which allows for speedy recovery.

Clinically Proven

Shockwave Therapy is clinically proven, recognised by top orthopaedic hospitals and used by high profile professional sports bodies.

What are Shockwaves?

Shock waves are high energy, audible sound waves which are transmitted to the affected area to stimulate healing by increasing blood flow, putting cells into recovery mode. Shockwave has pain relieving effect and stimulates repair and regeneration.

Is Shockwave Therapy Safe?

Shockwave therapy performed by qualified therapists is a largely risk-free and side-effect free method of treating musculoskeletal conditions and chronic pain.
