Description:
A Physiotherapist or Chiropractor will determine the appropriateness of this modality in your treatment plan. Shockwave therapy, or extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), is used in the treatment of many musculoskeletal conditions, primarily those involving connective tissues such as ligaments and tendons. It is a non-surgical, non-invasive therapy that transmits focused acoustic waves to the affected tissue. These waves stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms to aid in the reduction of pain, restoration of normal tissue function, and reducing the need for medications and/or significant activity modification.
