Focused Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate tissue healing and reduce musculoskeletal pain. It is one of several nonsurgical pain solutions we offer at Longevity Medicine.
Focused Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is widely used in sports medicine and orthopedics to treat chronic tendon, ligament, and muscle conditions that have not responded to conservative treatments. Focused ESWT is applied using a handheld device that delivers shockwaves to the affected area. Each session lasts approximately 15-20 minutes. Multiple treatments (usually 4-6) once per week may be required depending on the condition being treated.
Focused Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) can help with the reduction in pain and inflammation. It helps with joint function and mobility. This treatment stimulates blood flow and cellular repair. ESWT also assists with breaking up calcifications or scar tissue, promoting collagen production and tissue regeneration. It decreases nerve sensitivity and pain signaling. By providing a potential alternative to surgery or long-term medication use, ESWT may be the solution to your joint pain.
Shockwave Therapy can enhance and extend the benefits of other regenerative treatments, such as PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections. We can prime the treatment area before injections to increase tissue receptivity, improve circulation, and increase healing response after injections. Musculoskeletal ultrasound is used to guide injections for precision. If you’ve had regenerative treatments or are considering them, Shockwave Therapy can improve outcomes and reduce recovery time.
