ESWT treatment is only recommended after Dr. Neitzel conducts a physical evaluation and reviews your medical history to confirm that the therapy will help you.
ESWT is not recommended for people who:
Take blood thinner medication
Are pregnant
Have a malignancy
Since ESWT activates inflammation in your body so that the healing process can kick in, you will likely be advised to stop taking anti-inflammatory medication one week before treatment starts until four weeks after your last session.
