EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCKWAVE THERAPY

Shockwave therapy, ESWT, is considered an alternative therapy versus surgical intervention. Should your insurance carrier decline coverage, alternative payment plans are available. Ask us abut the benefits of ESWT.

Proven pain reduction after other conservative therapies, such as anti-inflamitory drugs, injections and physical therapy, have failed.
ESWT may eliminate the need for surgery and the associated risks and costs.
Short recuperation time allows for return to normal daily activities with improved quality of life.
On October 12, 2000, the FDA granted clearance of ESWT for the treatment of plantar fasciitis (chronic heel pain syndrome) and in July, 2002 granted clearance for Lateral Epicondylitis. Additional treatment indications are currently being researched worldwide.

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is best known for its use in the treatment of kidney stones, referred to as ESWL or lithotripsy. Research has shown that shockwave therapy applied appropriately is beneficial for the treatment of several orthopedic and podiatric conditions. The treatment in non-invasive and performed on an outpatient basis, which means that it does not require surgery or a hospital stay. Patients may leave the treatment center shortly after the treatment is complete.

How Do Shockwaves Work?

Shockwave therapy works by triggering "messengers" that activate the body's own repair mechanisms to increase blood flow, change cell permeability and enhance tendon healing. Also, shockwaves over stimulate the nerves, blocking the transmission of pain, which leads to a reduction in sensitivity.
