Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical treatment that involves the delivery of shock waves to injured soft tissue to reduce pain, restructure musculotendinous scar tissue, and promote healing. ESWT is considered a disruptor of tissue and a viable treatment option for chronic tendinopathies such as rotator cuff syndrome, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, runner’s knee, hip bursitis, plantar fasciitis, and strain/sprain of the neck and spine to name a few.
Initially used for the management of urologic symptoms like kidney stones. Subsequently, shock wave therapy was studied in an orthopedic setting where it was found to be successful for tendinopathies and other soft tissue injuries.
In comparison to ultrasound, shock wave therapy peak pressure is approximately 1000 greater.
Watch Us In Action
This treatment works at the root of your tendon or joint issue. It:
-
Promotes neovascularization at the tendon-bone junction, helping bring fresh blood flow and nutrients to the area.
-
Stimulates local cell production, encouraging tendon and bone cells to regenerate and repair damaged tissue.
-
Enhances immune response by increasing leukocyte activity, supporting the body’s natural healing process.
-
Amplifies growth factors and protein synthesis, driving collagen formation and tissue remodeling for stronger, healthier tissue.
-
Disrupts scar tissue, breaking up adhesions and allowing for improved mobility and function.
Watch as Dr. Harris demonstrates this treatment on a patient, walking you through how targeted therapy helps break down scar tissue and supports natural tissue regeneration. Seeing the process in action highlights the precision and effectiveness of this approach.
