EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCKWAVE THERAPY (ESWT)
Shockwave therapy is a multidisciplinary medical acoustic device. A non-surgical therapy with no need for painkillers makes it an ideal way to speed up recovery and address the underlying issues related to acute or chronic pain.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
Shockwaves are acoustic waves that carry energy and can be focused to produce micro-trauma which results in the release of angiogenic factors (essential for healing, growth, and development). Angiogenic factors help the natural formation of new blood vessels) in targeted tissues which in turn improves the blood supply and healing.
Medical Effects of ESWT
Acoustic waves with high energy peak used in Shockwave therapy interact with tissue causing overall medical effects of accelerated tissue repair and cell growth, analgesia and mobility restoration. For erectile dysfunction, this treatment helps clear vascular plaque, create new blood vessels and recruit growth factors.
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy In Action
Shockwaves carry high energy to painful spots and myoskeletal tissues with subacute, subchronic and chronic conditions. Shockwaves are characterized by jump change in pressure, high amplitude, and non-periodicity. Kinetic energy is created by compressed air and transferred to the transmitter at the end of the applicator and further into the tissue.

My plantar fasciitis was debilitating. This treatment was definitely uncomfortable, but I would do shockwave a million times over to avoid what I was feeling before.
