What Is Electromagnetic Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)?
ESWT is a procedure that delivers pressure pulses in shockwaves to
tissues for therapeutic benefits. Physiotherapy, orthopedics, and
sports medicine, are all fields that employ shockwave therapy as
a form of non-invasive treatment for various disorders. The
highlights of shockwave therapy are it's ability to provide pain
relief and to promote healing.
What is pneumatic shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses a pneumatic
generator to deliver high-density, high-powered sound waves directly
to an injury to treat a variety of issues, including tendinitis.
How does shock wave treatment proceed?
At the beginning of a therapy session, the therapist applies an ultrasound
gel to the area to be treated. This is done so that the shock waves can be
introduced into the body without energy loss. Then the therapist starts the
shock wave system and treats the pain zone with the therapy head of the
handpiece. The shock waves are now transmitted into the body. Depending
on the type of device and the indication, approx. 1500 to 2000 shock waves are delivered.
