What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy (also called Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy or ESWT) uses targeted acoustic waves to:
- Reduce pain
- Improve blood flow
- Promote tissue repair
Originally developed for medical procedures like breaking down kidney stones, shockwave technology is now widely used in sports medicine and rehabilitation for its remarkable ability to resolve conditions that have not responded to other treatments.
How it Works
During treatment, controlled pulses of acoustic energy are delivered directly to the injured area. This triggers a healing response by:
- Increasing circulation
- Stimulating cell regeneration
- Breaking down scar tissue and calcifications
Most patients notice improvement after just a few sessions, with many experiencing reduced pain within 24 hours.
