Shockwave Therapy

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment of pain and injuries in muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, and bones. It works by delivering impulses of energy targeted to specific damaged tissues. 

ESWT is highly effective to treat a wide range of conditions:

• Shoulder: calcifying supraspinatus tendinitis, subscapularis tendinitis (deltoid bursitis), frozen shoulder, biceps tendinitis
• Lower limbs: patellar tendonitis, shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, iliotibial band friction syndrome, anserine bursitis, trigger point
• Torso: erector spinal pain, soft tissue pain, trigger point
• Upper limbs: external humeral epicondylitis(tennis elbow), internal humeral epicondylitis(golf elbow), finger tendinitis, trigger point
• Hip: the femoral greater trochanter pain syndrome, piriformis syndrome, sciatica, trigger point

ESWT is suitable to treat a large number of conditions with minimal side effects.  However, it is forbidden to use in the following circumstances:

• Pregnancy
• Over major blood vessels and nerves
• Pacemakers or other implanted devices
• Open wounds
• Joint replacements
• Blood clotting disorders
• Infection
• Cancerous tissues
• Epiphysis
• A compromised mental status of the patients

ESWT provides a number of benefits for patients who struggle with chronic musculoskeletal conditions, including:

• fast treatment per session
• noninvasive, no side effects
• no downtime, get back to normal activities immediately after treatment 
• effective and more affordable treatment

Proven Effectiveness

Many studies and cases have proven the effectiveness of ESWT in orthopedics, sports medicine, and musculoskeletal disorders.

Wide Range of Indications

ESWT can treat a wide range of indications, like shin splints, plantar fasciitis, trigger points, jumper’s knee, tennis elbow, hamstring pain, and much, much more.

It can be used in many fields: physiotherapy, orthopedics, aesthetic medicine, sports medicine, and veterinary medicine.

Non-invasive, No Side Effects

No side effects reduce complaints and improve patients’ satisfaction. Being non-invasive can avoid costly recovery time.
