Shockwave therapy, also called Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), is a way to help with aches or injuries in the body. It has been used since the 1990s for issues involving muscles and bones. Therapists use short bursts of sound waves on problem areas. This helps improve blood flow and encourages healing.

I felt listened to and the treatment was helpful. I left feeling much better and confident in the recovery plan. Thank youPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been struggling with lower back pain for the past 5 years, and only after seeing Ksenya did I finally start feeling real improvement. Ksenya is a true expert and a very attentive physiotherapist. I genuinely enjoy my sessions — nothing feels routine or “one-size-fits-all.” She uses different techniques depending on how I feel and always adapts the treatment. She carefully tracks any changes and keeps adjusting the plan, which makes a huge difference. After many unsuccessful attempts, I’m really glad I found someone who truly cares and puts so much effort into helping her patients.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 5 stars!

How Shockwave Therapy Works
A handheld device creates sound pulses. These pulses pass through a gel and into the body. Many studies show that this approach lowers pain by sending repeated waves into painful spots. Over time, tissues repair themselves and discomfort lessens.
Treatment Time
Most sessions last from 10 to 30 minutes. Many people need around 3 to 6 treatments, spaced one week apart. Each visit is done as an outpatient service, so you can resume normal activities right away.
What Shockwave Helps
Shockwave therapy is used for a range of problems, such as:
- Frozen shoulder
- Tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow
- Plantar fasciitis and heel spurs
- Calcific tendon troubles (shoulder, Achilles, knee)
- Achilles tendon pain
- Patellar tendon inflammation
- Shin splints
- Neck and back pain
- Trigger points
- Pseudarthrosis (delayed bone healing)
- Bursitis
- TMJ (jaw joint) discomfort
Experts note it supports tissue repair without many risks or side effects.
Treatment Steps in Shockwave Therapy
Therapists adjust the device’s intensity so it feels comfortable. Multiple visits allow the body time to heal between sessions. Insurance often covers part or all of the cost. A trained professional manages your treatment to ensure safety.
When It’s Not Recommended
Shockwave therapy is avoided if there is a blood vessel condition or infection in the area. It is also not applied where tumors or certain medical devices are located. An expert will check your medical history before starting.
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy
No surgery or medicines are needed. Studies show success rates of over 75% for long-lasting pain or injuries. Many people feel steady relief and better movement after the recommended number of treatments.
