During shockwave therapy, a specialized device delivers short pulses of acoustic energy to the affected area. These shockwaves create micro-trauma in the tissue, which triggers the body to release growth factors and increase blood flow to the area. This enhanced blood flow promotes tissue repair and reduces inflammation, leading to pain relief and improved function. 

​

Shockwave therapy is often used to treat chronic musculoskeletal conditions, such as: Tendinitis (inflammation of tendons), Plantar fasciitis (heel pain), Tennis elbow, Shoulder pain, Chronic muscle pain. It can also be used to treat other conditions, such as Erectile Dysfunction. For this, low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (LI-ESWT) is administered. LI-ESWT works by improving blood flow to the penis through stimulating the growth of new blood vessels and potentially breaking down plaque in penile arteries.

Shockwave therapy is typically administered in a series of sessions, with each session lasting around 15-20 minutes. The number of sessions required varies depending on the severity of the condition.
