Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to treat various musculoskeletal conditions. These acoustic waves are delivered through the skin to the injured tissue, where they trigger increased blood circulation and metabolic activity.

The therapy works by creating microtrauma in the affected area, which stimulates the body’s natural healing response. This leads to the breakdown of calcified fibroblasts, the development of new blood vessels, and ultimately, the regeneration of tissue. The process is particularly effective for chronic conditions where the body’s normal healing processes have stalled.
