What is ESWT Shockwave Therapy?
ESWT (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy) is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes high-energy acoustic waves directed at the site of injury. These waves create a controlled microtrauma that stimulates the body's natural healing processes. By inducing an inflammatory response, ESWT enhances blood flow to the area, accelerating tissue repair and easing pain. The intensity of the shock waves can be tailored to meet your specific needs.
Musculoskeletal injuries often heal slowly due to limited blood circulation to the affected areas. With ESWT, the recovery time can be significantly reduced, offering a quicker return to daily activities without the need for invasive procedures.

What To Expect with Shockwave Therapy
During your consultation for shockwave therapy, your Gameday provider will perform a thorough medical assessment, discuss your particular symptoms, and examine the affected area. If you are found to be a candidate for treatment, your provider will design a personalized treatment plan and inform you about the number of sessions required.
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy involves the use of a specialized device that is placed on the injured area to produce shockwaves. These shockwaves initiate an inflammatory response that increases blood flow to the area, aiding the healing process. Each treatment session typically lasts around 20 minutes. As an outpatient procedure, shockwave therapy requires no downtime, allowing you to drive home after each session and continue with your regular activities. To achieve the maximum benefits, many patients receive several treatment sessions spread over a few weeks.
