Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)
What is shockwave Therapy?
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves, known as shockwaves, to activate cellular repair and improve blood flow to injured tissues.
Originally developed to treat kidney stones, ESWT is now widely used to treat musculoskeletal conditions — especially chronic tendon and soft tissue pain.
How does it work?
Shockwaves are applied to the affected area using a handheld device. These waves:
-
Improve blood circulation to the injured tissues
-
Stimulate collagen production and tissue regeneration
-
Break down calcifications and scar tissue
-
Reduce inflammation and block pain signals
This promotes healing and provides long-lasting pain relief, often after just a few sessions.

What to expect during treatment
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. Treatment is typically done 1–2 times per week for several sessions, depending on the condition. You may begin to notice improvement after the first or second session.
