What Is Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)?
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to reduce pain and promote healing in a variety of soft tissue, joint, and bone conditions, particularly musculoskeletal injuries and chronic pain. The shockwaves create controlled microtrauma to stimulate new blood flow, collagen growth, and break down scar tissue, which helps to resolve the underlying causes of pain.
How ESWT Works?
-
The therapy delivers acoustic waves to affected areas, which is thought to stimulate a healing response by creating minor injury.
-
Stimulation of Healing: This process triggers the release of growth factors, which leads to increased blood supply (neovascularization), the formation of new collagen, and regeneration of tissue.
-
Scar Tissue Breakdown

Treatment
Shockwave therapy is commonly used for conditions like:
-
Foot and Ankle Pain
Such as Achilles tendinopathy and plantar fasciitis.
-
Elbow Pain
Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow.
-
Knee Pain
Runner's knee and ITBS.
-
Chronic Back Pain
For certain musculoskeletal conditions.
-
Osteoarthritis
It can help reduce inflammation and promote cartilage regeneration.
