What is ESWT
- What is ESWT? It is a non-invasive treatment that uses high energy acoustic waves (shockwaves) to stimulate healing and reduce pain
- What effects does it generate?
- Increases blood flow through a process known as angiogenesis
(creation of new blood vessels) - Stimulates the production of stem cells
- Breaks up calcium deposits
- Increases the permeability of cell membranes, leading to
the production of new tissue - Bone remodeling
- Promotes wound healing
Treatable Conditions
- Tendinitis – e.g. Tennis elbow, achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis
- Calcifications – e.g.Calcific tendinitis, spurs (heels, shoulder joints,
etc.) - Ligament sprains – e.g. ankle sprains
