Apr 14, 2022 · ESWT is currently delivered through two primary forms: focused shockwave therapy (F‐SWT) and radial shockwave therapy (R‐SWT). F‐SWT generates an initially wide field of pressure waves that become focused and converge at a particular depth (the focus) within the body.
This 3rd edition of the ISMST Guidelines is an update of extracorporeal shockwave treatment applied to a wide range of pathologies of diverse origins and localizations in many medical fields, evidence based with a view to the published literature, keeping the basic principles as a non-invasive, safe and effective therapy.
Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a treatment usually offered when chronic symptoms have persisted for at least 3-6 months and have not responded to conservative treatments, such as physiotherapy, activity modification, ice therapy, orthotics, painkillers, and steroid injection.
