Shockwave Therapy (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy – ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate tissue repair and reduce chronic pain. At SPMC Wellness, we use shockwave therapy to treat stubborn musculoskeletal conditions that haven’t responded to conventional care.
Common conditions treated with ESWT:
-
Plantar fasciitis and heel spurs
-
Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
-
Calcific tendinitis of the shoulder
-
Chronic muscle tightness or trigger points
ESWT enhances blood circulation, breaks down scar tissue, and accelerates healing at the cellular level — all without surgery or downtime. It's a safe and effective therapy for athletes, active individuals, and chronic pain sufferers.
