Drug addiction and alcoholism don’t only affect our mental health but also our physical well-being. Spark wave therapy is presently one of the most effective treatments for addicts, as it is non-invasive and effective.
This article sheds light on how the procedure is performed, who the procedure is best suited for, and the benefits it offers.
What is Spark Wave Therapy
Spark wave therapy is a non-surgical procedure. During the procedure, a device that emits shock waves will be used on the damaged area. The procedure can promote the regeneration of new tissues and speed up the healing process.
