Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)
What is a Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT)?
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a noninvasive treatment that involves delivery of shock waves to injured soft tissue to reduce pain and promote healing. According to Jonathan T. Finnoff, D.O., medical director for Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine at Mayo Clinic Square in Minneapolis, ESWT is a viable option to consider for many patients who present with chronic tendinopathy that hasn’t responded to more-conservative treatments. Often difficult to treat, chronic tendinopathy is characterized by localized pain and pathological changes to a tendon. The condition affects athletes and nonathletes alike.

How does a Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) work?
most patients require a series of treatments, each of which lasts less than 30 minutes. “A typical course of treatment is one treatment weekly for three weeks. If someone doesn’t respond to the first two sessions, we usually stop. If they have improvement with three sessions but haven’t achieved the desired level of symptom relief, we can continue as needed,” said Docters. Athletes undergoing ESWT are typically told to gradually increase their activity level based on symptom intensity.
