Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave treatment, also known as Shockwave Therapy or Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive medical procedure used to treat chronic pain and injuries, especially those related to the musculoskeletal system. It delivers high-energy acoustic waves to affected areas of the body, promoting healing by stimulating blood flow, reducing inflammation, and encouraging the regeneration of damaged tissues.

Common Uses:

Shockwave therapy is widely used for conditions like:

• Tendonitis (e.g., tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis)
• Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
• Calcific shoulder tendinitis
• Chronic joint pain
• Sports injuries and muscle strains

How It Works:

The therapy sends controlled shockwaves to the targeted area, which causes microtrauma and mechanical stress. This effect helps jumpstart the body’s natural healing processes by:

• Increasing blood circulation
• Reducing pain by altering pain signals
• Stimulating cellular repair

Benefits:

Shockwave treatment offers a safe, quick, and often effective solution for patients seeking pain relief without surgery or medication. Sessions typically last about 15–20 minutes, and patients often see improvement within 3–5 sessions.
