Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), is used in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, primarily those involving connective tissues such as ligaments and tendons.
Benefits
The shockwave therapy device is used in orthopaedics, physiotherapy and sports medicine. Its main assets are fast pain relief and mobility restoration. Together with being a non-surgical therapy with no need for painkillers makes it an ideal therapy to speed up recovery and cure various indications causing acute or chronic pain.
How it works?
Emitting high energy pulses focused on the target tissues by the hand piece of the shockwave therapy machine, the therapy causes localized microtrauma that stimulates the bodies natural healing processes. Acoustic waves with high energy peak used in shockwave therapy interact with tissue causing overall medical effects of accelerated tissue repair and cell growth, analgesia and mobility restoration.
