  4. Apr 14, 2022 · FORMS OF EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCKWAVE THERAPY. Shockwaves are a form of energy that has biological effects described at the cellular, tissue, and organ level. ESWT is currently delivered through two primary forms: focused shockwave therapy (F‐SWT) and radial shockwave therapy (R‐SWT).

  5. The most common use of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is for lithotripsy to treat kidney stones (urinary calculosis) and biliary calculi (stones in the gallbladder or in the liver) using an acoustic pulse. It is also reported to be used for salivary stones and pancreatic stones.

  6. ESWT should be used in conjunction with physical therapy to facilitate longer-term gains in function and to optimize healing. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy can safely be used to treat musculoskeletal injuries, including tendinopathy and fasciopathy, in athletes.

  7. Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical treatment, and works by delivering impulses of energy, targeted to specific damaged tissues within the abnormal tendon. This increases the blood flow within the affected area, stimulating cell regeneration and healing, and decreasing local factors which can cause pain.

  8. Apr 14, 2017 · The efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) as an ideal alternative to conservative treatments and surgery is controversial, and almost all previous articles compared general ESWT with placebo without indicating the kind of shock wave.
