Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy also known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to treat various musculoskeletal conditions. It s Particularly known for treating chronic tendinopathies, such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, tennis elbow, and calcific shoulder tendinitis.

Procedure

During a shockwave therapy session, a gel is applied to the skin over the injured area to facilitate the transmission of the shockwaves. A hand-held device is then used to deliver the shockwaves to the targeted area. The procedure con cause mild discomfort, but it’s generally well-tolerated. Each session may lost for about 5-20 minutes, and patients might require several sessions to achieve the best results.

Chronic Pain Conditions

This might include non—specific back pain or pain in other regions that hasn’t responded well to other treatments.

Erectile Dysfunction
