ShockWave Therapy

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy or ESWT is a method of treatment by application of high-intensity acoustic energy.

It can be used to treat a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions--particularly those involving areas where major connective tissues attach to bone.

Complaints involving attachment points for tendons and ligaments in major joints like the shoulder (such as the rotator cuff), elbow  (epicondylitis or tennis elbow), hip, and knee (tendinitis or "jumper's knee) are common sites for ESWT.

 Some conditions in the foot that have been treated with ESWT include:

 - Plantar Fasciitis or Fasciosis (Strained Arch)
 - Achilles Tendinitis or Tendinosis
 - Calcific Tendinitis or Tendinosis
 - Connective Tissue Pain and degeneration
 - Muscle Pain and Injuries
 - Joint Injuries
 - Morton's Neuromas

ESWT treatment encourages bone healing and has been used to help treat:

 - Stress Fractures
 - Avascular Necrosis (A dead portion of bone)
 - Slow-healing bone (Delayed unions)
 - Non-healing bone (Non-unions)

If you have suffered from chronic heel pain or tendonitis then you need to consider this effective treatment.
