What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment that aids in pain relief and promotes healing by delivering high-velocity sound waves to targeted areas. This therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with both acute and chronic pain, as it stimulates the body's natural healing processes. The sound waves help break down damaged tissues and encourage the growth of healthy new tissues. Commonly addressed conditions include plantar fasciitis, shockwave therapy for Achilles tendinopathy, and shockwave therapy for tennis elbow, among others. Each session typically lasts between 5 to 10 minutes per area, with treatments usually scheduled weekly over a period of 3 to 5 weeks. Patients may experience some discomfort initially, which tends to subside as the treatment progresses and healing occurs.
