ESWT is an innovative pain management solution. The shockwave is an audible, physical sound wave “shock”, not an electric one. This form of therapy has been around since the 1980’s and has been utilized to treat certain pathological alterations of tendons, ligaments, capsules, muscles and bones. It treats the root causes of your pain, which can be eliminated systematically with this non-invasive therapy approach. In modern pain therapy, shock wave energy is applied to the painful body regions where it can accelerate the healing process in the body by stimulating the metabolism and improving blood flow, regenerating and healing damaged tissue.
