What is involved in the procedure?
ESWT benefits patients because their condition can be treated extracorporeally, meaning outside of the body. Since ESWT is non-invasive, there is no lengthy recovery period, virtually no time off from work or risk of causing further damage. The same cannot be said with surgery.
During the treatment, you lie back comfortably with the area to be treated resting on the machine on a soft, water-filled membrane. To ensure patient comfort, a local anesthesia is used. The technician will make sure you are comfortable throughout the procedure. The technician uses an ultrasound scan to view and target the damaged location. During the treatment, you will hear repetitive clicking sounds.
The Excellence Shock Wave Therapy Technician and your Doctor will insist upon your comfort during treatment. Our technicians have performed tens of thousands of ESWT treatments and are proficient at using the analgesic effects of certain levels of shockwaves to make the treatment comfortable. Your comfort is a priority to us.
If you are nervous or anxious about treatment talk to your doctor or treatment coordinator. Our goal is to always make sure you are comfortable and relaxed during treatment!
High Energy Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) repairs damaged fascia and tendons in one 20 minute treatment. High Energy ESWT is an alternative to surgery and not to be confused with low energy wave therapy which is used in physical therapy as a series of treatments.
