ESWT is a non-invasive medical procedure that utilizes high-energy shockwaves to treat various musculoskeletal conditions and promote tissue healing. During ESWT, a device generates acoustic shockwaves that are directed toward the affected area of the body. These shockwaves deliver mechanical energy to the tissues, stimulating the body’s natural healing processes.
ESWT is commonly used to address conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, tennis elbow, and calcific shoulder tendinopathy. It’s particularly effective for chronic soft tissue injuries that have not responded well to conservative treatments. ESWT promotes tissue regeneration, reduces pain and inflammation, and enhances blood circulation to the treated area.
