Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive medical treatment that utilizes acoustic waves to stimulate healing within the body. It's commonly used to treat musculoskeletal conditions such as tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and other soft tissue injuries.Here's how shockwave therapy works within the body:1. *Acoustic Waves*: Shockwave therapy machines generate acoustic waves, which are high-energy sound waves. These waves are focused onto the affected area of the body using a handheld device.2. *Stimulating Healing*: When the acoustic waves are applied to the injured or painful area, they penetrate the tissues and create a controlled micro-trauma. This micro-trauma triggers the body's natural healing response.3. *Blood Flow and Tissue Regeneration*: The controlled micro-trauma caused by the shockwaves stimulates increased blood flow to the affected area. This enhanced blood flow brings more oxygen and nutrients to the injured tissues, prom
