FAQs
ESWT is a non-invasive treatment we use to treat various musculoskeletal conditions. It involves the application of sound waves to injured parts of the body to stimulate healing. It’s a safe and effective alternative to surgery or drugs.
ESWT works by delivering shock waves into the tissue. These waves stimulate the body’s natural healing process by increasing blood flow to the area, which in turn accelerates tissue regeneration and repair.
We’ve found ESWT to be particularly effective for treating many sports injuries, including tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and shoulder injuries. It’s also used for conditions like heel spurs and certain types of knee pain.
During an ESWT session, we’ll apply a gel to the treatment area and then use a device to deliver the shock waves. You might feel a bit of discomfort during the treatment, but it’s generally well-tolerated and sessions only last about 15 to 20 minutes.
The healing process varies from person to person, but many of our patients notice a reduction in pain and improved mobility after the first or second session. Full recovery might take a few weeks to a few months, depending on the severity of the injury.
