What is Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy?

ESWT is a noninvasive treatment used for several conditions. While it has gained popularity as a method for treating foot- and ankle-related injuries, it has also been used in treating kidney stones. ESWT was first developed as a method to treat kidney stones and gallstones and has been successful in treating those conditions for two decades.

Additionally, ESWT has been used to treat musculoskeletal conditions, including tennis elbow and bony nonunion. It’s based on extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL).

Since their introduction, the extracorporeal shockwave therapy machine devices have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat lateral epicondylitis and plantar fasciitis.

How does Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy work?

Shockwave therapy helps to accelerate the body’s normal healing process. It helps speed up the recovery of injured joints and tissue while diminishing pain and discomfort.

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy works in two ways, either through focused shockwaves or radial pressure waves. Both methods are outpatient, and several treatments may be required to treat your specific condition.

The focused shockwave method uses a very focused impulse to target affected areas through an extracorporeal shockwave therapy machine. There is no need for anesthesia since the shockwave used is low energy. The patient lays down with the affected area exposed. The therapist applies a special gel to the affected area, which helps deliver the impulses deeper into the skin.

The ESTW machine is turned on and the instrument, or shockwave gun, is pressed against the affected area. Rapid impulses are then delivered to the patient. Treatment typically lasts between 5 and 15 minutes. While this treatment can be uncomfortable for some, most do not experience any pain.

What are the benefits of shockwave therapy?

Client Testimonials

					I highly recommend Daniel if you are looking for deep tissue massage. He has been incredibly skilled in helping me work through some running injuries. I went from not being able to run at all for 3 weeks to completing a marathon a week later. He is a really good listener when you explain your situation and he works really hard to solve the problem in a more systemic way. Im a repeat customer, and I highly recommend this practice.

					This is what i needed, I’ve been having shoulders and back pain and tightness, after not seeing any results with PT for many times thought about giving massage a shot perhaps is helpful, after reading great reviews about Dan I immediately gave him a call and scheduled the first visit and indeed he’s the one I should’ve saved PT’s time and money for his help, my shoulders are much looser now. Thanks Dan

					He’s been a GAME CHANGER! I came to his practice with my achilles hurting just to walk, waking up in that condition. Since working with him, he’s helped to rehab my achilles. I am pain-free upon waking up, and am able to run again, and box my best.💯Besides him helping me heal, Dan is a great guy that has created a practice that is comfortable and professional.
