Shockwave therapy in ambattur Shockwave therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing and reduce pain in various musculoskeletal conditions. Here are some common uses of shockwave therapy: Plantar Fasciitis: Shockwave therapy is often used to treat plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain. The acoustic waves help stimulate blood flow, promote tissue regeneration, and break down scar tissue in the plantar fascia, leading to pain relief and improved function. Tendinopathies: Shockwave therapy is effective in treating various tendon disorders, including Achilles tendinopathy, patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee), tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis), and rotator cuff tendinopathy. It helps stimulate collagen production, reduce inflammation, and improve tendon healing. Calcific Tendonitis: Shockwave therapy can help break down calcium deposits (calcifications) in tendons, particularly in conditions such as calcific tendonitis of the shoulder. The acoustic waves disrupt the calcifications, facilitating their resorption by the body and reducing pain and stiffness. Bone Healing: Shockwave therapy has been used to promote bone healing in conditions such as non-union fractures and stress fractures. The acoustic waves stimulate osteogenesis (bone formation) and enhance the production of growth factors, accelerating the healing process. Trigger Points and Myofascial Pain: Shockwave therapy can be used to target trigger points and myofascial pain syndromes, particularly in muscles of the neck, shoulders, and back. The acoustic waves help release muscle tension, improve blood circulation, and reduce pain and muscle spasms. Joint Disorders: Shockwave therapy may be used to manage pain and improve function in certain joint disorders, such as osteoarthritis and adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder). It helps reduce inflammation, improve joint mobility, and alleviate pain associated with these conditions. Erectile Dysfunction: Shockwave therapy has shown promise in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) by improving penile blood flow and promoting tissue regeneration in the erectile tissue. It may be used as a non-invasive alternative to medications or other ED treatments. Cellulite Reduction: Shockwave therapy has been explored as a treatment option for reducing the appearance of cellulite by targeting the fibrous bands and adipose tissue responsible for its formation. The acoustic waves help break down fat cells, stimulate collagen production, and improve skin texture.
