WHAT IS ESWT?
Acoustic or extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) converts pulsed acoustic waves into shockwaves outside of the body to treat common, painful conditions such as arthritis, tendinosis and bursitis. ESWT was first used to treat kidney stones, but has been proven useful in treating many ailments since it was first used 25 years ago. Modifying the intensity of the energy allows for the treatment of a wide range of conditions, from kidney stones through lithiotripsy (mechanically breaking them down) to erectile dysfunction.
Everyday wear and tear, ageing and inflammation can make it harder for our joints and tendons to heal. ESWT can be used in the treatment of:
- Tendinosis (for example, of the hamstring or shoulder)
- Arthritis
- Shoulder bursitis
- Patellar tendonitis
- Achilles tendonitis
- Plantar fasciitis (with or without heel spur)
- Non-union fractures
- Stress fractures
- Trigger points (also known as "muscle knots")
- Meniscal injuries
In addition to treating injuries, ESWT can be effective in keeping well-used joints intact. For instance, if you are or have been an elite athlete, hold a physically demanding job, or generally put a lot of strain on your body, then it's worthwhile to give your joints a few shockwave treatments each year.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
ESWT directs precise shockwaves to the source of your pain. These shockwaves produce an analgesic, anti-inflammatory effect; promote the formation of new blood vessels and blood flow; and increase growth factors, which speed up the recovery time and help regenerate tissue.
The best way to describe shockwave is to explain that it is “an acoustic pressure wave”. Shockwave Therapy sends acoustic shockwaves into bone or soft tissue, in effect re-injuring the area on a cellular level and breaking up the scarring that has penetrated tendons and ligaments. The controlled re-injuring of tissue allows the body to regenerate blood vessels and bone cells. The resulting re-vascularization leads to faster healing, a chemically induced decrease in pain and sensitivity of the pain receptors, and often a return to pre-injury activity levels.
Originating in Europe, shockwave therapy is a scientifically proven treatment alternative with a scope ranging from; people with chronic pain some may have exhausted all other treatments available, to professional athletes. Shockwave therapy is a safe, non-invasive, out-patient alternative to surgery for those suffering from many joint and tendon disorders.
Shockwave Therapy has proven clinically effective for the treatment of:
• Plantar fasciitis & heel spurs
• Golf & tennis elbow tendonitis
• Calcific tendonitis of the shoulder/rotator cuff
• Knee patellar tendonitis
• Frozen/Stiff Shoulder
• Achilles tendonitis
• Iliotibial Band Syndrome
• Shin Splints
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Trigger Finger
• Hip tendonitis
• Morton’s Neuroma
• Trigger Points / Fibromyalgia
• Chronic Muscle Tension
• Bursitis anywhere
• Recalictrant Diabetic Wounds
