Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic sound waves to stimulate healing in injured or painful tissues. It is commonly used for chronic musculoskeletal conditions such as, but not limited to: plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy, and calcific tendinitis. The sound waves are delivered through the skin using a handheld device and work by increasing blood flow, stimulating tissue regeneration, breaking down calcifications, and reducing pain by altering nerve signaling. Treatments typically last 5–15 minutes, require little to no downtime, and are performed over multiple sessions, with pain relief often improving gradually as the body’s natural healing process is reactivated.
