What Is Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a medical procedure that uses shockwaves to stimulate blood flow in a particular area of the body.

It is also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) and it is used to treat some types of chronic pain, including plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow.

Shockwaves are generated by an electronic device that sends acoustic waves into the body. The waves are transmitted through a probe, which sits on the skin over the area to be treated.

The sound waves cause microtrauma in the tissues which leads to an inflammatory response that speeds up the healing process. This is why it is most effective in treating chronic injuries or pain which have been around for a long time.
