⚡ Shock Wave Therapy – Non-Invasive Pain Relief & Healing Boost
Shock Wave Therapy (SWT) is a non-surgical treatment that uses acoustic energy waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues, reduce pain, and restore mobility. Originally developed for breaking down kidney stones (lithotripsy), it’s now widely used in orthopedics, physiotherapy, sports medicine, and even aesthetics.
? How It Works:
Shock waves create microtrauma in the target tissue, which:
Promotes neovascularization (new blood vessel formation)
Triggers the body’s natural healing response
Reduces inflammation and calcification
Stimulates collagen production
? Types of Shock Wave Therapy:
Focused Shock Wave Therapy (FSWT): Penetrates deeper tissues precisely.
Radial Shock Wave Therapy (RSWT): Disperses energy over a broader area, good for superficial conditions.
? Common Applications:
Plantar fasciitis
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
Achilles tendinopathy
Calcific shoulder tendinitis
Muscle pain & myofascial trigger points
Erectile dysfunction (ED)
Cellulite reduction & skin tightening (aesthetic use)
