Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to promote healing and reduce pain in various musculoskeletal conditions. The therapy involves delivering high-energy sound waves to the affected area, stimulating blood circulation, encouraging tissue regeneration, and breaking down scar tissue. Shockwave therapy is commonly used for conditions like tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, calcific shoulder tendinopathy, and chronic pain in muscles and joints. It is often favored for its ability to treat patients without the need for surgery or medication, making it a popular alternative for those seeking non-invasive pain management options. While it may cause some temporary discomfort during the procedure, it typically leads to significant improvements in mobility and pain reduction.
