Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a medical treatment that involves the use of high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing and improve function in the body. It is commonly used to treat musculoskeletal conditions, such as tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and tennis elbow.
ESWT is believed to work by inducing a series of physiological responses in the body, including improved blood flow, decreased sensitivity of nerves, and increased collagen production. These responses can help to reduce pain and improve function in the affected area.
At PPI, the team uses a German-made ESWT machine as an adjunctive therapy in the treatment of acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. They have chosen to offer this service due to the improved outcomes and faster results it can provide for patients. It is an important tool in the management of a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, and can be an effective addition to traditional treatment approaches.
