Case Study: Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Technology (ESWT) uses a specialized machine to provide a high-energy, focused pressure wave to a specific location on the body. This results in several biological changes in the tissues being treated. It stimulates the release of proteins associated with the healing process, as well as regulating inflammation and providing analgesia (pain relief).
