What is Shockwave Therapy?
Chiropractic-Wiki Topic: Shockwave Therapy (SWT)
Shockwave therapy (SWT), also known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), involves the application of high-energy shockwaves to targeted areas of the body. The shockwaves are acoustic or sound waves.
Shockwaves are directed towards an injured or painful area, they stimulate blood flow, enhance cell regeneration, and accelerate tissue repair. Conditions like tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and other musculoskeletal issues appear to respond well.
Shockwave therapy is an effective alternative to surgery. There are less risks and a shorter recovery time.
Patients undergoing shockwave therapy often report a significant reduction in pain and improved mobility after just a few sessions.
To recap, Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive medical treatment to promote your body’s natural healing process using a specialized machine that emits sound waves.
