ESWT (Shockwave Therapy)

ESWT shockwave therapy is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses shockwaves to treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. The shockwaves are created by a device that delivers high-energy acoustic waves to the affected area, stimulating the body's natural healing processes.


ESWT shockwave therapy has been shown to be effective in treating conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, tennis elbow, and other soft tissue injuries. It is also used to promote bone healing and stimulate blood flow to promote tissue regeneration.


During the treatment, the patient may feel a mild tingling sensation or discomfort, but the therapy is generally well-tolerated and requires no anesthesia or medication. ESWT shockwave therapy is typically performed in a series of sessions, depending on the severity of the condition being treated.
