Overview
Shockwave therapy (extracorporeal shockwave therapy ESWT and radial pressure wave RPW) is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment used to treat chronic pain, soft tissue injuries, and musculoskeletal disorders by stimulating the body's natural healing processes.
It works by delivering high-energy sound waves to injured areas, increasing blood flow, breaking down scar tissue, and reducing pain.
