What kind of recovery can patients expect?
ESWT forces the body to create new tissue cells in the damaged area. Expect gradual healing to take place over days, weeks or months. Though not typical, some have mild soreness or bruising after treatment. Some people experience no more pain from day one. Most will have noticeable to significant improvement by the thirteenth week. A second treatment after sixteen weeks may be necessary in approximately 20% of patients. As it took time to create the injury, healing also takes time. Total healing of the area can take up to one year.
The best thing about ESWT is that unlike surgery, patients avoid getting worse before getting better. There's no need to plan lengthy time off from work or life for painful post-procedure recovery.
