Focused Shockwave Therapy (f-ESWT)
Focused Shockwave Therapy is an advanced, non-invasive treatment used to help reduce pain and stimulate healing in chronic musculoskeletal injuries. It is commonly recommended for conditions that have not responded well to rest, stretching, or standard conservative care.
This treatment uses targeted acoustic waves delivered into the affected tissue to encourage blood flow, tissue regeneration, and repair. It is often used for persistent tendon, fascia, and soft tissue problems, particularly when symptoms have been present for weeks or months.
What is Focused Shockwave Therapy?
Focused Shockwave Therapy delivers high-energy acoustic waves to a precise depth within the body. Unlike more general treatment methods, focused shockwave is designed to target the injured area more accurately, which may help improve treatment outcomes for deep or stubborn conditions.
It is a drug-free and non-surgical option that can be used as part of a broader treatment plan, often alongside rehabilitation exercises, strength work, and activity modification.
What Conditions Can Focused Shockwave Therapy Help Treat?
Focused Shockwave Therapy may be suitable for a range of chronic musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Heel pain
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Patellar tendinopathy
- Hamstring tendinopathy
- Gluteal tendinopathy
- Knee and Ankle Arthritis
A full assessment is important to determine whether this treatment is appropriate for your condition.
