Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) at MoveFree Physio

Advanced Pain Relief

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a cutting-edge treatment that offers non-invasive relief for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. By delivering shock waves to injured soft tissue, ESWT stimulates the body's natural healing process, promoting tissue regeneration and reducing pain. This therapy is particularly effective for chronic conditions that have not responded well to other treatments, making it a valuable option for those seeking lasting relief.

How ESWT Works

At MoveFree Physio, our ESWT process involves:

Technology

Our experienced therapists utilize advanced technology to deliver targeted shock waves precisely to the affected area, ensuring optimal therapeutic outcomes.

Penetration

These shock waves penetrate deep into the tissue, addressing the root cause of pain and stimulating the healing process at a fundamental level.

Stimulation

The shock waves trigger neovascularization, which is the formation of new blood vessels, and the release of growth factors. This enhances blood circulation and nutrient delivery to the injured area.

Healing

Increased blood flow and cell proliferation facilitate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain, leading to improved function and mobility. This comprehensive approach supports the body's natural ability to heal and recover, providing long-term benefits for patients.

Benefits of ESWT

Pain Reduction

ESWT effectively reduces pain associated with conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, tennis elbow, and more. By targeting the source of pain, ESWT provides long-lasting relief without the need for invasive procedures or medications.

Tissue Regeneration

By promoting tissue regeneration and healing, ESWT helps restore function and mobility to injured areas. This can significantly improve quality of life for individuals suffering from chronic pain or mobility limitations.

Non-Invasive

Unlike traditional surgical interventions, ESWT is non-invasive and does not require anesthesia or prolonged recovery periods. Patients can typically resume their normal activities shortly after treatment.
