Shockwave therapy (ESWT) has been proven to be extremely effective in accelerating the recovery process of injured soft tissues, bones and joint pain. It is a non-invasive, non-toxic, and non-surgical treatment with yields no side effects. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) has a very high success rate of 75% to 95% and thus is preferred by many patients as the treatment of choice. The average therapy session can last up to 20 minutes in length, relief can often be seen within 72 hours after the initial treatment. For those of you wondering what is shockwave treatment? What does it entail? It’s simple, a shockwave is an intense and short energy wave that travels faster than the speed of sound. These shockwaves result in triggering biological effects, causing long-term healing and regeneration of the tissue, bone or tendons. For decades, shockwave therapy and the technology that it relies on, has exemplified remarkable results. This is the same technology (lithotripsy) used to “blast/treat” kidney stones, modified for safe and effective use on your chronic musculoskeletal issues.
