Knowledge
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment. It uses high-energy sound waves to directly target diseased parts of the body. These sound waves are precisely focused on the source of pain or diseased tissue, physically promoting blood circulation at the diseased location to stimulate cell regeneration, accelerate the dissipation of inflammation and tissue healing, and ultimately relieve pain and restore function.
The main direction of application in pain treatment
1. Orthopedic diseases: extracorporeal shock wave is widely used in orthopedic treatment, including but not limited to:
Metatarsal spurs: also known as plantar fasciitis a.
Tenosynovitis : such as tennis elbow, golf elbow, etc
Nonunion:Periarthritis of shoulder, especially calcifying periarthritis of shoulder.
2. Sports injuries
Extracorporeal shock waves can also be useful for chronic strain and acute injuries common to athletes, such as:
Patellar tendinitis (jumper's knee)
Tendinitis pain, such as Achilles tendinitis a
Muscle repair after strain.
3. Chronic inflammation
For chronic lesions caused by long-term repeated inflammation, extracorporeal shock wave can help:
Relieve local pain and swelling caused by chronic inflammation.
Improves joint stiffness.
Reduces pain in chronically diseased areas,
