ESWT

ESWT (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy)

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive method commonly used in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. This treatment aims to accelerate healing by focusing high-energy shock waves on the body tissues.

Advantages of ESWT

• • Fast Healing Process: ESWT can expedite the natural healing process, reducing pain and discomfort.
• • Non-invasive Method: It provides treatment with externally applied shock waves without surgical intervention.
• • Side Effect-Free and Safe: ESWT can generally be applied safely with minimal side effects.

Fast Healing Process

ESWT promotes a rapid healing process by increasing blood flow and stimulating cellular regeneration in the body. Additionally, it may reduce inflammation and enhance collagen production in the treated area.

Non-invasive Method

Unlike traditional surgical methods, ESWT is a non-invasive treatment approach. High-energy shock waves target the desired area of treatment externally on the skin , allowing patients to receive treatment without surgical intervention.

Side Effect-Free and Safe

ESWT is generally a safe treatment method with minimal side effects. Serious side effects are rare, with only minimal discomfort usually experienced during application. Patients can typically resume their daily activities immediately after treatment.

Conditions Treated

ESWT may be effective in treating conditions such as tendinitis, osteoarthritis, plantar fasciitis, and various painful musculoskeletal conditions. It is also used in the management of various painful conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system.

ESWT treatment is usually a short-term process. Sessions typically last between 15 to 30 minutes, and results may start to be observed within a few weeks. However, the treatment process may vary depending on the patient's condition and needs.

Considerations

It is important to consult with a specialist healthcare professional to determine whether ESWT applications are suitable for specific conditions and patients. Since every patient is different, a personalized treatment plan should be established.
