Shockwave

Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is an advanced technology used in physiotherapy for treating various musculoskeletal conditions and injuries. It is a non-invasive method that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.

Principle of Operation:
Shockwave therapy generates high-energy acoustic waves that penetrate the body’s tissues. These waves cause micro-traumas in the treatment area, which in turn stimulate the healing process, increase blood circulation, and promote tissue regeneration.

Action of Acoustic Waves:

  • They increase blood flow and reduce inflammation in the affected area.

  • They trigger the release of endorphins, reducing pain.

  • They activate the body’s self-healing processes, enhancing the regenerative capacity of cells, leading to improved mechanical properties of tissues and pain reduction.They provide immediate pain relief without adverse side effects.

  • They activate cellular defense by contributing to the release of free radicals and enhancing the body's endogenous cellular defense mechanisms.

  • They cause overstimulation of nerve fibers, which blocks the transmission of pain signals and maximizes the analgesic effect.

Applications:
Shockwave therapy is used for treating a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, such as:

  • Tendinitis (e.g., tennis elbow, shoulder tendinitis)

  • Plantar fasciitis

  • Fractures that have not healed (meniscus)

  • Calcific tendinitis

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome

  • Sports injuries

  • Heel spur

  • Painful muscle spasms

  • Shin splints

  • Jumper’s knee

  • Achilles tendonitis

  • Hamstring tendonitis

  • Anterior and posterior tibial syndrome (shin splints)

  • Partial tear of the supraspinatus muscle

  • Ulcer healing (diabetic foot)

This method is effective and safe, offering significant relief and functional improvement for patients with chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
