Shockwave therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), is a clinically proven and highly effective treatment for chronic soft tissue injuries and certain bone conditions.
An extracorporeal shockwave is defined as a non-evasive, non-electrical high energy sound wave that passes through the body via a hand-held probe. The shock waves produce a rapid increase in blood circulation to the target area and will break down fibrous scar tissue which builds up over time, especially with chronic conditions.
The break-down of scar tissue is the key to why shock wave therapy is so effective. Unlike normal elasticated tissue, scar tissue is non-elastic and will prevent normal movement and function, thereby weakening the unaffected tissue surrounding it, often causing further damage and pain. By increasing circulation and breaking down scar tissue, shockwave therapy will stimulate cell regeneration and promote normal healing and rapid reduction of pain. The normal function can then be restored.

Shockwave therapy can be effective on a wide range of soft tissue and bony conditions.
Here are some examples of conditions where shock wave has effectively treated and restored normal function:
Plantar fasciitis
Shoulder pain, e.g. calcific lesions of the rotator cuff and bony spurs
Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow)
Medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow)
Patellar tendonitis (jumper's knee)
Tibial stress syndrome (shin pain)
Achilles tendonitis
Hip pain
Heel pain, heel spurs
Chronic neck dysfunction

Shockwave for ED Therapy
Most men suffering from erectile dysfunction have vascular problems affecting the vessels that supply blood to the cavernous bodies of the penis, resulting in a decreased ability to develop and maintain an erection. The end result is an inadequate blood-flow followed by premature draining of an already reduced amount of blood from the cavernous bodies, meaning an erection is not achieved. Shockwave Therapy for ED of this type can be a highly effective treatment.
Shockwave for Cellulite Reduction
As fat cells grow larger, they get trapped under the skin, causing the
surface of the skin to bulge. This leads to the tell-tale dimpling appearance. Blood flow is restricted by the unhealthy fat cells.Acoustic Wave Therapy has been found to be the first non-invasive treatment method to ensure effective and long-lasting treatment of agerelated connective tissue weakness, especially in the treatment of cellulite. Acoustic waves stimulate microcirculation in connective tissue and fat cells and improve existing metabolic regulation disorders to reduce the visible signs of cellulite.
