ExtraCorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive and highly effective treatment option for patients struggling with chronic musculoskeletal pain and injuries. Whether you’re dealing with tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, or calcific shoulder tendinopathy, ESWT offers a promising solution. It works to promote healing while providing significant pain relief, making it an ideal choice for many patients.

What is ExtraCorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)?

At its core, ESWT uses high-energy acoustic waves that are directed precisely at the pain site. These shockwaves stimulate blood flow, accelerate tissue healing, and promote the regeneration of damaged tissues. In addition, ESWT helps break down scar tissue and reduces inflammation. For those who have not found relief from conventional treatments or are seeking an alternative to surgery, this innovative therapy provides a compelling option.

Benefits of ExtraCorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT):

  • Non-invasive: There is no need for surgery or injections, offering a safe and simple alternative.
  • Pain Relief: ESWT helps significantly reduce chronic pain, allowing you to return to normal activities with less discomfort.
  • Accelerated Healing: The therapy stimulates tissue repair and regeneration, promoting faster recovery.
  • Minimal Downtime: Most patients experience little to no recovery time, allowing them to resume everyday tasks shortly after treatment.

Common Conditions Treated with ExtraCorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT):

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Tendonitis (including Achilles tendon and tennis elbow)
  • Rotator cuff injuries
  • Calcific shoulder tendinopathy
  • Heel spurs
