However we also have NEW therapies which can help the especially chronic issues called Shockwave Therapy

Most of the ligament and tendon issues listed above can become chronic because of the poor blood flow into those areas. This inhibits tissue regeneration and healing. Using Shockwave can speed up the bodies healing process and get you back into your activity asap
Shockwave therapy is often recomended now even by the NHS https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/tennis-elbow/treatment/ for these types of condidtions when they have become chronic
