This form of treatment was developed from other medical indications (eg. treating kidney stones) and is widely used in Europe and North America for the treatment of a number of soft tissue conditions. There are numerous published scientific studies, with the majority demonstrating positive outcomes of around 60 to 80%. More recently, research has shown that when used in combination with good rehabilitation, ESWT has better outcomes than when either treatment is employed alone. Most importantly ESWT has been demonstrated to be a safe treatment modality.
High Energy Shockwaves are delivered directly to the damaged tissues. Activating self healing processes; thus better blood circulation, & formation of new blood vessels. Improving cell metabolism, releasing pain relieving substances creating an analgesic effect.
