FAQ's
Below are some of the frequently asked questions regarding shockwave therapy:
What is shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) or EPAT Therapy (Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology), is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce pain in various conditions.
During a shockwave therapy session, a healthcare provider applies a specialized device that delivers high-energy sound waves to the affected area of the body. The sound waves create a mechanical force that stimulates the body’s natural healing process and can promote the formation of new blood vessels, enhance blood flow, and stimulate the growth of new tissue.
What results should I expect from being treated with Shockwave?
After the treatment, certain patients have reported experiencing immediate pain relief, while for others, it may take up to four weeks for the pain relief to commence. According to reports, more than 80% of treated patients have reported either being completely pain-free or experiencing substantial relief from pain.
