At Maximum Wellness Rehab in Toms River, NJ, we offer the most advanced and highly effective non-invasive treatment method, Shockwave Therapy (SWT). SWT is used in the treatment of many musculoskeletal conditions, primarily those involving connective tissues such as ligaments and tendons.
What is SWT?
Shockwave treatments are non invasive and promote accelerated recovery of injured soft tissue, bone, heel and joint pain.
