What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in musculoskeletal conditions, often for chronic pain or injuries that haven’t responded to traditional treatments. The therapy involves delivering focused shockwaves directly to the affected area, which helps increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue regeneration. Commonly used in treating conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, tendinitis, and shoulder pain, shockwave therapy can also aid in the rehabilitation of sports injuries.
The Treatment typically takes 15-30 minutes per session and may require multiple sessions, depending on the severity of the condition. Patients often feel minimal discomfort during the procedure. Shockwave therapy is an effective, drug-free option that encourages the body’s natural healing processes, making it appealing to those looking for alternatives to surgery or long-term medication use.
