Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)

How does the shockwave treatment function?

Shockwave treatment includes high energy to debilitating spots. The power boosts regeneration and reparative procedures of these bones, tendons, and other soft tissues. It initially reduces pain through what’s called hyperstimulation anesthesia,

when your nerves sending pain signals to the brain are stimulated so much that their action diminishes, or so the pain subsides. Fundamentally, shockwave therapy changes the discharge of these painkillers, and over time, the shockwaves cause the depletion of the pain receptor material out of nerve endings. The shockwaves also generate a regenerative tissue-repairing impact by stimulating the release of growth factors and enhancing blood supply, resulting in bone and cartilage repair.

How many sessions would you need?

Research indicates you’ll receive maximum advantage with three remedies, each one week apart. Sometimes, your physiotherapist can suggest an extra one to two treatments. Shockwave therapy was utilized for several years, and scientific evidence shows it is an effective therapy.

Is it painful?

It’s more uncomfortable than really debilitating. The degree of distress may differ from patient to patient and also depends upon the harm's location and seriousness.

Can the treatment be stopped if I find it too painful?

Naturally, it may be stopped, even though the probability of you feeling the necessity to block the treatment is quite slim. Quitting will restrict the impact of this treatment.

Can I feel pain later?

Usually, patients report a decrease in pain instantly afterward. Still, it is possible; there might be an ache or an increase in pain in the hours following therapy on account of shockwave mechanics performed in your injury. The best results happen 12 months after the first therapy.

Are there any side effects?

After the treatment, you might encounter more pain, swelling, redness, swelling, and numbness. These side effects should resolve over a week before your next treatment.

Are there any limitations after therapy?

We advise no particular loading of the area/injury for as much as 48 hours following therapy.
