The longer name for this acclaimed, highly successful treatment is extracorporeal shock wave therapy. The abbreviation is ESWT.

. A concentrated dose of these sound waves can reduce discomfort almost immediately.

Shockwave therapy works where other efforts to lower pain level just have not.

The ESWT treatments we do are noninvasive. After a gel is applied to the treatment area, an applicator is used release pressure waves over the affected area.

Shockwave therapy sessions usually last no more than five minutes. There is no downtime.

Treatment areas can include the knee, heel, foot, ankle, hamstring, back, neck, shoulder, wrist, and hand. Painful conditions such as rotator cuff deterioration, tennis elbow, and plantar fasciitis show demonstrative improvement after shockwave therapy.

ESWT accelerates the healing process by stimulating the metabolism and enhancing blood circulation to re-energize damaged tissue.

Some clinical studies show pain reduction in 90% of patients who undergo the shock wave therapy. Patient satisfaction approaches 80%.
