What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), is a cutting-edge non-invasive treatment that has been proven to offer a wide range of benefits for individuals dealing with various musculoskeletal and soft tissue conditions. By delivering high-energy shockwaves to specific areas of the body, shockwave therapy stimulates the body's natural healing processes, promoting faster recovery and pain relief.

What is shockwave therapy used to treat?

Shockwave therapy has been shown to be effective on a wide range of chronic conditions.Here are some examples of conditions where SWT has been shown to effectively treat symptoms and improve function:

  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Joint Pain (shoulder, knee, hip)
  • Tennis/Golfers Elbow
  • Leg Pain
  • Wrist/Ankle Pain
  • Tendonitis
  • Neuropathy/Nerve Pain
  • Bursitis

Does the treatment hurt?

There may be a slight feeling of discomfort during the treatment, depending on the level of pain the patient is already experiencing in the area. However, most patients are able to tolerate this discomfort. Additionally, the intensity of the treatment can be adjusted throughout the session.

How many treatments will I need and how often?

The number of treatments varies depending on the indication and tissue response. The effect of the treatment is cumulative, so you will typically need more than one treatment. Very often though, you will experience relief right after the first treatment. Most indications require multiple treatments which are done 3–10 days apart, depending on the patient’s tolerance and their tissue response.
