What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy—also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT)—uses targeted acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. These sound waves increase blood flow, break down scar tissue, and trigger cellular regeneration in damaged tissues. The treatment is delivered through a handheld device during a short, in-office session and does not require anesthesia or incisions.
