Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that delivers focused acoustic waves to targeted areas of the body. Originally developed to break up kidney stones, this technology is now used to address various musculoskeletal conditions.
The acoustic waves are designed to stimulate blood flow, promote tissue regeneration, and support the body's natural healing processes. Many patients find ESWT helpful when other conservative treatments haven't provided the relief they were looking for.
