How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
ESWT employs a series of high-energy acoustic waves delivered to the patient’s skin via a transducer with a topical gel as a medium. The pulses of energy delivered to the injured area activate circulation, break down scar tissue, and promote new cell growth. Each session lasts between five and 15 minutes, depending on the patient and their condition.
This new technology for pain management is entirely safe and generally painless and does not necessitate anesthesia or pain medications. Shockwave therapy offers dynamic chronic pain relief and better, faster, and more complete healing.
