Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce pain. It is commonly used to treat musculoskeletal conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and calcific tendinitis. During the procedure, a device delivers shockwaves to the targeted area, promoting tissue regeneration, increasing blood flow, and reducing inflammation. Shockwave therapy is typically performed by a trained healthcare professional and may require multiple sessions to achieve optimal results. It is a safe and effective alternative to surgical interventions for certain conditions.
