Shockwave therapy is growing in popularity for its ability to help joints and other parts of the body heal from injuries with high-energy acoustic waves. From professional athletes to people dealing with limited mobility, this approach may have the quick and effective results you’ve been looking for.
Usually shortened to “shockwave therapy,” extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a physical therapy treatment that utilizes electromagnetic acoustic shockwaves to stimulate specific soft tissues in targeted areas of the body.
