Shockwave therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to target and treat musculoskeletal pain and conditions. The shockwaves stimulate blood flow, promote tissue regeneration, and reduce inflammation, leading to significant pain relief and improved mobility.
Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is effective for a wide range of conditions, including:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
- Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)
- Rotator cuff tendinopathy
- Patellar tendinopathy
- Hip bursitis
- Calcific shoulder tendinitis
- Stress fractures
- Chronic pain in the neck, back, and shoulders
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy
- Non-Invasive: No need for surgery or injections.
- Quick Treatment: Sessions typically last 15-20 minutes.
- Fast Relief: Many patients experience significant pain relief after just a few sessions.
- Minimal Side Effects: Few and mild side effects, such as minor discomfort or redness.
- Accelerated Healing: Promotes faster recovery from injuries.
Post-Treatment Care
After your shockwave therapy session, you may experience mild soreness or redness in the treated area. These side effects are temporary and typically subside within a few days.
