Shockwave Therapy

Service Description

Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in soft tissues, tendons, and bones. Originally developed to break down kidney stones, ESWT is now widely used in physical therapy, sports medicine, and orthopedics to address chronic pain and injuries. Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for conditions like tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, calcific shoulder tendinopathy, and other musculoskeletal disorders resistant to traditional treatments. During the treatment, a device generates shockwaves that penetrate deep into the affected tissues, enhancing blood flow and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. This boost in circulation promotes cell regeneration and helps reduce inflammation and scar tissue, alleviating pain and restoring function over time. Sessions are typically short, lasting about 10 to 15 minutes, and may be repeated weekly for three to six sessions, depending on the severity of the condition. Many patients experience relief after just a few treatments. With minimal downtime, shockwave therapy offers a convenient option for those seeking a quick recovery without surgery or medications. Although some individuals may experience mild discomfort during the procedure, shockwave therapy is generally safe and well-tolerated, providing a promising alternative for chronic musculoskeletal pain relief.
