WHAT IS SHOCKWAVE THERAPY (ESWT)?
Introducing microtrauma to the problematic tissue causing pain to initiate a healing response by the body, the healing response causes blood vessel formation and increased delivery of nutrients to the affected area. Microtrauma stimulates a repair process to relieve the symptoms of pain.
Because this method of treatment is non-invasive, patients can be treated extracorporeally (outside of the body) while also avoiding the risks and high costs associated with surgery. It is an ideal therapy to speed up recovery and cure various indications causing acute or chronic pain.

SHOCKWAVE THERAPY FAQS
Q. HOW DOES ESWT WORK?
- Through a process called cavitation, ESWT stimulates fibroblast and tenocyte production. Fibroblast or tenocyte cells make up your body’s connective tissues, including tendons and the fascia.
- ESWT diminishes pain by overstimulating the nerves that send pain sensations to your brain.
- The procedure can break down pathological calcification deposits (also known as a spur). Depending upon your condition, this may or may not be the goal, but an interesting by-product. In all cases, ESWT is targeted at the condition that caused the spur, and not the spur itself.
Q. WHAT SORT OF RECOVERY CAN I EXPECT AFTER ESWT?
Remember, as it likely took time for you to sustain an injury, it also takes time for healing. Total healing of the area can take up to one year. However, the best thing about ESWT is that, unlike surgery, you avoid getting worse before getting better. You won’t need a lengthy amount of time off work or painful post-procedure recovery time.
Q. WHAT CONDITIONS ARE TREATED BY ESWT?
Most often, shockwave therapy is used to treat jumper’s knee, painful shoulder, tennis elbow, heel spur, insertional pain, chronic tendinopathy, calcifications, medial tibial stress syndrome, and hip pain.
Q. HOW EFFECTIVE IS ESWT?
Q. WHAT’S INVOLVED IN THE ESWT PROCEDURE?
A. During your treatment, you’ll be asked to lie back comfortably with the area to be treated exposed. Since it’s a non-invasive procedure, no lengthy recovery period is required after the treatment. Using an instrument to target the damaged location, you’ll hear repetitive clicking sounds during the treatment. Our technician will do their best to ensure your comfort during the procedure, as it’s a priority to us. If you’re ever nervous or anxious about treatment, talk to your doctor or treatment coordinator. Our goal is to always make sure you’re comfortable and relaxed during treatment!
