Shockwave Therapy?!

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (EWST)

What is extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT)?

ESWT is used for the treatment of musculo- skeletal disorders. Evolved in Europe in the early 1990`S, ESWT is a derivative of lithotripsy, which is the mechanical breaking up of renal stones with shockwaves, which has and still is used successfully for this condition.
ESWT is becoming a popular conservative treatment for musculo-skeletal conditions and soft tissue injuries, and is proven to work well in conjunction with physiotherapy and acupuncture.
ESWT is a non- invasive alternative with minimal risk for patients.
