Shockwave Therapy

What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that delivers high-energy sound waves to injured tissues. These soundwaves stimulate the body's natural healing processes by increasing blood flow, promoting tissueregeneration, and reducing pain. It helps by releasing growth factors, breaking down scar tissueand calcifications, and overstimulating nerve endings to decrease pain signals. This therapy isoften used to treat chronic musculoskeletal conditions like plantar fasciitis, tendinopathies,chronic myofascial pain syndrome, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other soft tissueinjuries, offering a non-surgical option for pain relief and healing.Myofascial release therapy is a hands-on technique that focuses on releasing tension in thefascia, the connective tissuesurrounding muscles and tendons.By applying gentle, sustainedpressure to restricted areas, often called trigger points or knots, this therapy helps to lengthenand soften the fascia.This process can reduce pain by alleviating pressure on nerves andmuscles, release tight muscles by restoring the natural glide and movement between fasciallayers, and aid in recovery by improving blood flow and reducing inflammation in the affectedtissues.
