Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in various musculoskeletal conditions and injuries. Shockwave therapy helps with pain reduction, stimulates healing, and supports long term injury recovery.
Shockwave is commonly used for:
• Chronic tendinopathies (longer than 6 weeks) (e.g., plantar fasciitis, jumpers knee, tennis elbow)
• Shin splints
• Calcific tendonitis
• Chronic muscle and fascial pain syndromes (muscle pain for longer than 6 weeks)
