If you've been dealing with chronic pain that just won't quit, you've probably tried everything — rest, ice, stretching, traditional PT. Shockwave therapy may be the answer.
If you've been dealing with chronic pain that just won't quit, you've probably tried everything — rest, ice, stretching, traditional physical therapy. Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate the body's natural healing response in injured or degenerated tissue.
What Conditions Does ESWT Treat?
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee)
- Rotator cuff calcific tendinitis
- Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow)
- Chronic muscle trigger points
How It Works
ESWT delivers high-energy acoustic waves to the affected tissue, which stimulates increased blood flow, breaks down calcifications, and triggers a healing cascade at the cellular level. Most patients require 3–5 sessions and experience significant improvement within weeks.
Is ESWT Right for You?
ESWT is particularly effective for patients who haven't responded to traditional conservative treatments. Our therapists will evaluate your condition and determine whether shockwave therapy is appropriate for your specific case. Ask about ESWT availability at your nearest Holsman location.
