Shockwave
What is shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a cutting-edge and cost-effective treatment designed to address tendon pain, such as tendinitis or tendinopathy, as well as various other conditions throughout the body. “Extracorporeal” means that the treatment is applied outside the body.
The primary benefits of shockwave therapy are pain relief and the restoration of function. It has proven effective for treating a range of common tendon issues, including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and tennis elbow.
This therapy is safe and non-invasive, with robust evidence from numerous research studies and clinical trials backing its effectiveness. Multiple randomized, double-blinded clinical trials have confirmed its benefits for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, lateral epicondylitis, and calcific tendinitis of the shoulder.
